  • AI gateway

    An AI gateway is a proxy layer between applications and AI model providers that centralizes routing, access control, cost tracking, caching and failover.

  • Distributed training

    Distributed training splits the training of a machine learning model across many GPUs or nodes so that larger models and datasets can be trained faster.

  • GPU inference

    GPU inference is the execution of trained AI models on graphics processors to generate predictions or text quickly, at scale and at acceptable cost.

  • Inference server

    An inference server is software that loads trained AI models and answers prediction requests over a network, managing batching, hardware and scaling.

  • Model routing

    Model routing sends each AI request to the most suitable model, balancing answer quality, latency and cost across a pool of language models in production.

  • Model serving

    Model serving is the practice of running trained machine learning models in production so applications can request predictions reliably, quickly and at scale.

  • Prompt caching

    Prompt caching reuses the computed attention state of a repeated prompt prefix, cutting latency and input cost when serving large language models.
