Research question

Which latency, throughput, batching, KV-cache, quantization, and profiling bottlenecks matter most for small experiments?

Planned setup

  • Profile representative training and inference paths.
  • Compare practical bottlenecks before and after targeted changes.
  • Keep model-quality claims separate from systems measurements.

Planned measurements

  • Latency.
  • Throughput.
  • Batching behavior.
  • KV-cache and quantization trade-offs.
  • Cost/latency/quality trade-offs.

Planned sections

  • Research question and claim boundary
  • Setup, model variants, data versions, and config hashes
  • Eval suite or task design
  • Measurements and failure modes
  • Limitations, caveats, and next decision

Expected artifacts

  • systems_efficiency module.
  • Profiling and optimization comparison table.
  • Systems bottleneck report.

Claim boundary

This report focuses on practical experiment velocity, not production-scale serving.
