Inference Auctions: Mike Jordan et al. propose an economic layer for LLM inference serving
nhaghtal · x · 2026-10-10
A new paper, Inference Auctions, by the author with Keegan Harris, Asher Trockman, and Michael Jordan, argues that economic considerations should be built into the design of LLM inference systems themselves, rather than treating resource allocation and economic efficiency as separate problems. The authors are soliciting input from the econ-CS community (tagging Ben Golub, Scott Kominers, Tim Roughgarden, Yannai Gonman) on what the economic layer atop inference-serving platforms should look like.
