S1E17. Serving It: Dynamo, Dynamo-Triton, and NIM

This episode is narrated using AI voice technology. The content and script are original. A finished model sitting on a disk is not a product. Somebody has to stand at the door and answer requests. Serving is that door. Dynamo is the newer platform for very large language models spread across a great many machines. Dynamo Triton is the older general-purpose server folded into it, and both names are still all over the documentation. NIM is the parcel: a container with the model, the server, and the defaults, so somebody else can run it without building the door. Dynamic batching is waiting a few milliseconds so several questions share the same pass. The KV cache is the notes from earlier in the conversation so you do not redo the whole page every time a new word arrives. When somebody says the model is in production, ask which of those they actually mean. Takeaway: the parcel is the product. the weights are an ingredient.
