• 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.

• Context Window Optimization: KV Cache Eviction and Hierarchical Attention Foundation Models • 2026-10-29 • Dr. Elena Rostova

  An architectural exploration of KV-cache memory scaling, attention sinks, StreamingLLM, and Heavy Hitter eviction for serving 128k+ token agent workflows efficiently.

• 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.

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