llm-d explores more effective use of existing inference hardware

IBM Research describes running open models on H100 GPUs with llm-d. The discussion focuses on inference workloads with long contexts, repeated prefixes and changing demand. Cache-aware routing and the separation of prompt processing from generation can help allocate resources. Results depend on models and workload patterns; the report should be read as an engineering study rather than a universal capacity guarantee.
