LLM Inference Scheduler Behavior Analysis
Analyze the following snapshot of an LLM inference server's state and determine what will happen to the composition of the active batch for the next processing iteration. Justify your conclusion.

An inference engine is processing a batch of several text generation requests. After completing one computational step, the system's scheduler evaluates the situation. It determines that none of the requests in the current batch have completed their generation, and the queue of new, incoming requests is empty. Based on this state, what is the most logical and efficient action for the scheduler to take for the very next step?
In a continuous batching system for a large language model, if the request queue is empty, the active batch of requests being processed will always remain unchanged in the next iteration.
