Continuous vs dynamic batching for AI inference

Learn how to increase throughput with minimal impact on latency during model inference with continuous and dynamic batching.

Product

New in March 2024

Fast Mistral 7B, fractional H100 GPUs, FP8 quantization, and API endpoints for model management.

GPU guides

Using fractional H100 GPUs for efficient model serving

Multi-Instance GPUs enable splitting a single H100 GPU across two model serving instances for performance that matches or beats an A100 GPU at a 20% lower cost.

33% faster LLM inference with FP8 quantization

Quantizing open-source LLMs to FP8 resulted in near-zero perplexity gains and yielded material performance improvements across latency, throughput, and cost.

Model performance

High performance ML inference with NVIDIA TensorRT

Use TensorRT to achieve 40% lower latency for SDXL and sub-200ms time to first token for Mixtral 8x7B on A100 and H100 GPUs.
