The Periodic Table of Inference: 12 LLM serving concepts as meme elements
sophiamyang · x · 2026-11-14
A meme infographic, "The Periodic Table of Inference," turns 12 core LLM serving concepts into element cards: KV Cache, Speculative Decoding, Prefix Caching, Continuous Batching, Prefill/Decode Split, NVFP4, Expert/Tensor Parallelism, Megakernel, TTFT, GPU Utilization, and OOM.
Each card gets a snarky one-liner — OOM is "the last element you'll ever see (80 GB of regret)", GPU Utilization is "99% in the pitch deck". Funny and genuinely useful as a quick index of inference optimization ideas.
