Components of an LLM Inference System
A practical Large Language Model (LLM) inference system is typically structured around two main components.

Choosing an LLM Optimization Strategy for Deployment
A company has deployed a large language model for a customer support chatbot. They observe that a small number of common questions (e.g., 'What are your business hours?') account for a large portion of the daily traffic. The company is facing challenges with both high operational costs from running the model for every query and user complaints about slow response times. Which of the following deployment-focused strategies would be most effective at directly addressing both the cost and latency issues for these frequent, repetitive queries?
A development team has successfully reduced their language model's size by 50% using a post-training compression method. This single change guarantees that their deployed application will now handle at least twice the user traffic with the same hardware.

Request Processing Workflow in LLM Inference
A team is optimizing their system for serving a large language model. They observe that during peak traffic, many user requests fail with a timeout error before the model begins processing them. At the same time, monitoring shows that the hardware responsible for the model's computations is frequently idle. Based on this scenario, which of the following actions would most directly target the likely cause of this bottleneck?
A system designed to serve a large language model is composed of distinct parts, each with a specific job. Match each component with its primary responsibility within the system.
