Summary

The creator recommends NVIDIA Dynamo AIPerf for inference engineering. AIPerf measures how an LLM endpoint performs under load, covering time to first token, inter-token latency, overall latency and throughput. It can replay realistic, repeatable traffic patterns.

Key points

• An endpoint that works may still degrade as traffic increases, so load-test it
• Key metrics: TTFT (time to first token), ITL (inter-token latency), end-to-end latency and throughput
• AIPerf measures these at scale
• Test with realistic traffic patterns you can reliably repeat for comparable benchmarks
