AI inference, explained through one question
TL;DR Part 0 of a three-part series on building a documentation assistant with Aiven. This part gives you the vocabulary. Part 1 is the architecture. Part 2 builds the thing. Almost everything written about large language models explains how models get built. Very little explains what happens the other billion times, when a finished model sits there answering questions. That second thing is called inference, and it is where practically all of the engineering work actually lives.
