RecoGEM: a production serving system for generative recommendation, 1,000+ QPS in deployment

A new paper presents RecoGEM, a production serving system for generative recommendation (GR), where recommenders autoregressively generate item IDs instead of scoring candidates — promising better quality but far harder serving. RecoGEM decouples runtime from engine: candidate-state transitions and live artifact updates move to a dedicated runtime, while the execution engine exploits GR's short token sequences, huge candidate populations and predictable step shapes to optimize attention, candidate selection and execution planning. It has been deployed for over nine months, serving apps with hundreds of millions of users across 10+ GR model families, exceeding 1,000 QPS per instance on OneModel production workloads.
