In the world of artificial intelligence, there are two crucial phases: training and inferencing. While training involves neural networks “learning” from vast amounts of data, inferencing is the moment of truth. This is when the model applies its learned knowledge to new, real-world data to make predictions, generate images or answer complex questions in milliseconds.
In the age of generative AI and large language models (LLMs), the efficiency of inference has become a decisive competitive advantage. It is no longer just a question of whether AI works, but how fast, cost-efficient and scalable it is in live operation.
Intelligent customer support systems that access company data using RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) technology and provide accurate answers in real time.
In manufacturing, robots must process visual data immediately in order to react to obstacles. Local inferencing without cloud detours (edge computing) is essential here.
AI models analyse CT images during the examination to immediately alert doctors to any abnormalities.
Modern search engines understand not only keywords, but also the intent behind them – made possible by lightning-fast vector searches in the inference process.
Hardware requirements have changed dramatically. Whereas simple classifications used to suffice, today's applications demand extremely low latencies for real-time interactions.
NVIDIA pursues a full-stack architecture approach that ensures that AI-supported applications can be operated with optimum cost efficiency. The result is faster results with reduced operating costs. NVIDIA AI Enterprise, an enterprise-grade inference platform, includes best-in-class software, reliable management, security and API stability to ensure performance and high availability.
A successful AI project does not end with training. To maximise the ROI of your AI investments, you need an infrastructure that grows with your requirements. From single GPU workstations for development to multi-GPU server clusters, sysGen offers tailor-made solutions for every scenario.
During training, a model is ‘fed’ billions of data points in order to recognise patterns. This is extremely computationally intensive and takes days or weeks. Inferencing is the application of the finished model. The model receives a new input (e.g. a question) and immediately delivers a result. Inferencing must be fast and efficient, as it often takes place in real time.
Although inferencing can theoretically run on CPUs, CPUs are often too slow for modern applications (such as LLMs or image recognition). GPUs such as the NVIDIA L4 or L40S are specialised in performing thousands of calculations simultaneously. This reduces latency (response time) and significantly lowers the cost per query.
Latency is the time between input (e.g. ‘Write a poem’) and the start of output. For chatbots or autonomous driving, low latency is crucial to ensure that interaction appears natural and safety is guaranteed.
With edge inferencing, data processing takes place directly on the device (e.g. in a camera, robot or vehicle) rather than in a remote data centre. This saves bandwidth, protects privacy and eliminates delays caused by internet transmission.
Optimisation takes place on two levels:
RAG is a method in which the AI model queries external, up-to-date information (e.g. your company database) during the inference step. This ensures that the AI does not provide outdated or fabricated answers, but instead accesses your specific facts.
