Stop treating 100% GPU utilization as a sign of efficient inference
◆ 85RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack8h ago
If your infrastructure reports high utilization while users experience lag, your Kubernetes orchestration is likely inefficient. Prioritize measuring tokens-per-second over hardware saturation to ensure your compute spend translates to actual user value.
Takeaways
- High utilization often hides resource contention or memory bottlenecks.
- Shift monitoring from hardware-level metrics to application-level throughput.
- Validate Kubernetes scaling logic against actual inference latency.
