• Cost-Optimized Inference Routing: Dynamic Cascading Across Model Tiers Inference & Infrastructure • 2026-10-29 • Daniel Jaffa

  How dynamic model cascading reduces LLM inference costs by 75% and slashes P95 latency by routing queries through tiered SLMs, escalating only on verified errors.

• Streaming JSON-RPC over HTTP: The Evolution of MCP Transports Inference & Infrastructure • 2026-10-29 • Daniel Jaffa

  A deep architectural comparison of legacy SSE and modern Streamable HTTP MCP transports, including session management, proxy buffering, and Express implementations.

• Quantization Paradigms for Edge Inference: AWQ, GPTQ, and FP8 Matrix Cores Inference & Infrastructure • 2026-10-29 • Marcus Vance

  An engineering analysis of AWQ, GPTQ, and FP8 quantization paradigms, examining outlier channel protection, calibration overhead, and throughput trade-offs on consumer and datacenter GPUs.

• Zero-Dependency JWT Authentication for High-Throughput MCP Servers Inference & Infrastructure • 2026-10-29 • Daniel Jaffa

  How to build production-grade, zero-dependency HS256/RS256 JWT authorization for MCP servers using node:crypto and constant-time equality checks.

• Speculative Decoding at Scale: Latency Reduction in Distributed LLM Serving Inference & Infrastructure • 2026-10-29 • Dr. Elena Rostova

  An analysis of speculative decoding mechanics, acceptance math, and production benchmarks for reducing LLM auto-regressive inference latency by up to 3x without quality degradation.
