The premise
AI can draft an AI vLLM serving configuration with model selection, max model length, KV cache fraction, and concurrency settings.
What AI does well here
- Generate a starting config tied to a target hardware tier
- Explain trade-offs between max-num-seqs and per-request latency
What AI cannot do
- Tune values to your real traffic without benchmarking
- Decide acceptable p99 latency for your customers
