Modular published a free LLM Inference Handbook, consolidating large-scale inference knowledge scattered across papers, vendor blogs and GitHub issues into a systematic reference.
- Topics include TTFT, TPOT, goodput, continuous batching, chunked prefill, prefix caching, KV cache math, prefill-decode disaggregation, quantization, GPU architecture, and BYOC/on-prem deployment.
- Features 20+ interactive visualizations, calculators and simulators; usable both as a read-through guide and a lookup table.
- Continuously updated, open to PRs; every page has a Markdown version via appending .md to the URL.
- Aimed at engineers deploying, scaling or operating LLMs in production who want inference to be faster, cheaper, more reliable.
