'Gradient Descending' is a series of roundtables on AI: curated deep dives with technical builders. Past roundtables discussions covered RL Environments, Evals, Fine-Tuning, Agent Frameworks, Open Source Models, and Knowledge Graphs with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Scale AI and many more. For this one, we’re joined by Charles Frye from Modal for a deep dive into inference engineering. We’ll get into:Why inference has become an engineering discipline of its own The trade-offs between latency, throughput and cost What changes as workloads move from simple LLM calls to more complex models and agents Where teams waste compute and what good inference infrastructure looks like How to think about scaling inference without building a huge infra team As always, expect a deep technical discussion with fellow builders.
