Dead Replica Detection: How Inference Fleets Carry Broken Workers Longer Than You Think
How unhealthy inference replicas stay in rotation longer than expected, why standard health checks miss them, and how to detect and drain them faster.

AdamW optimizer states silently consume 2-3x your model's weight memory. Here's where that memory goes and how to reclaim it.
What actually happens when a live request hits your model's context limit, and how to detect, handle, and prevent silent truncation in production inference.
How request routing silently degrades across multi-instance inference deployments, the failure modes to recognize, and how to diagnose and correct them.
Speculative decoding promises faster token generation, but production deployments expose failure modes that synthetic benchmarks quietly hide. Here's what to watch.
