WarmServe: Enabling One-for-Many GPU Prewarming for Multi-LLM Serving

arXiv:2512.09472v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying multiple models within shared GPU clusters is a key strategy to improve resource efficiency in large language model (LLM) serving. Existing multi-LLM serving systems improve GPU utilization at the cost of degraded inference performance, particularly time-to-first-token (TTFT). We attribute this degradation to the lack of awareness regarding future workload characteristics. In contrast, recent analyses have shown the strong periodicity and long-term predictability of real-world LLM serving workloads. In this paper, we propose o

Why this matters
Why now

The paper addresses an immediate challenge in LLM serving as the demand for diverse model deployments within shared GPU infrastructure increases, prompting the development of more efficient resource management strategies.

Why it’s important

Improved GPU utilization and reduced time-to-first-token in multi-LLM serving directly impact the cost-efficiency and responsiveness of AI applications, making large language models more economically viable and performant.

What changes

The proposed 'WarmServe' system enables more efficient sharing of GPU resources for multiple LLMs by leveraging workload predictability, potentially leading to lower operational costs and better user experiences for AI services.
