Balancing cost and performance in LLM deployment
Balancing the cost and performance in LLM deployment is a multifaceted challenge that involves a strategic approach to infrastructure and resource management. Let’s explore a detailed exploration of the elements.
Cloud versus on-premises
Choosing between cloud and on-premises solutions to deploy LLMs involves weighing the pros and cons of each in terms of scalability, cost, operational overhead, data security, and customization. Here is a more detailed exploration of these considerations:
- Scalability:
- Cloud: Cloud platforms offer dynamic scalability, allowing organizations to increase or decrease their computational resources in response to their needs. For LLM workloads that are not constant, this means not having to pay for unused resources during off-peak times, as well as the ability to handle surges in demand without the risk of service degradation.
- On-premises: Scaling on-premises infrastructure typically requires...
