Philip Kiely's "Inference Engineering" book and its companion tutorial emphasize a structured approach to optimizing AI model performance. The initial chapters highlight that generative AI inference is more complex than traditional ML, requiring a balance between model weights, infrastructure, and tooling. The book advises against premature optimization, stressing the importance of understanding product-specific trade-offs like latency, throughput, and cost before tuning. AI
