Reasoning-model inference is becoming a budgeted search-and-verification system
Structured generation is becoming a schema-compilation and runtime policy system
Multi-LoRA serving is becoming an adapter-residency and isolation system
LLM serving is becoming a deadline-aware admission-control system
The LLM KV cache is becoming a tiered distributed storage system
Mixture-of-experts serving is becoming an online expert-placement problem
AI inference compilers are becoming release-qualified kernel systems
Speculative decoding is becoming workload-qualified serving engineering
Reasoning post-training is becoming verifier engineering
Low-bit inference is becoming a qualified deployment layer
