Cascade: Exploiting SLO-Aware latency budget for fair and high goodput LLM inference serving
Muhammad Adnan, Rohan Mahapatra, Prashant J. Nair +4
The reasoning and agentic capabilities of large language models have expanded the range of applications they support, from short interactive exchanges to long, compute-heavy reques…
Rethinking AI Cloud Infrastructure for Agentic Serving Systems with the Aries Experimentation Framework
Leonid Kondrashov, Hongrui Liu, JooYoung Park +14
Autonomous agents challenge conventional LLM serving by coupling repeated inference with persistent context and sandboxed tool execution. We present Aries, a full-stack experimenta…
Agentic Coding in the Wild: Characterizing GitHub Copilot Traces at Production Scale
Banruo Liu, Haoran Qiu, Ãñigo Goiri +3
AI coding agents like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex interleave multi-step LLM inference with tool execution, creating a workload different from chatbots. We present the fi…
Beyond Prediction: Tail-Aware Scheduling for LLM Inference
Yueying Li, Yuanfan Chen, Jiayang Chen +6
LLM serving exhibits extreme length variability, making size-based scheduling difficult in practice. Recent LLM schedulers approximate SJF/SRPT using predicted decode lengths or ra…
Energy Use of AI Inference, Efficiency Pathways, and Test-Time Scaling
Felipe Oviedo, Fiodar Kazhamiaka, Esha Choukse +5
As AI inference scales to billions of queries, estimates of per-query energy use are increasingly important for capacity planning, efficiency interventions, and policy. Yet many pu…
Natural Language Query to Configuration for Retrieval Agents
Melissa Z. Pan, Negar Arabzadeh, Mathew Jacob +3
Modern retrieval agents expose many configuration choices -- LLM, retriever, number of documents, number of hops, and synthesis strategy -- each shaping both answer quality and ser…
