Scope of work
Environment and capacity assessment
Check GPU memory, CPU, system memory, storage, networking, drivers, and runtime. Size a single-server or multi-node setup against model size, precision, context length, concurrency, and latency objectives. Hardware compatibility must be confirmed against the actual models and equipment.
Inference serving
Evaluate SGLang and vLLM against the target model and workload. Configure model loading, serving, concurrency, and recovery. Choose the serving stack from measured compatibility, throughput, latency, and operational complexity, rather than a framework preference alone.
Quantization and performance tuning
Where task quality permits, evaluate lower-precision model formats and compare memory use, response quality, time to first token, generation speed, and concurrency. Tune batching, caching, parallelism, and resource allocation while preserving a reproducible configuration baseline.
API and monitoring
Provide an authenticated model API and, where agreed, rate limiting, logs, and integration points for business systems. Monitor service health, GPU memory, request volume, error rates, latency, and capacity; assign alert recipients and response owners.
Deliverables and acceptance
Deliver the deployment topology, software and model version inventory, configuration, start and recovery procedures, API specification, monitoring checklist, and performance test results. Every performance result records the model version, input and output lengths, concurrency, and hardware conditions. A demonstration speed is not a universal performance commitment.
Knowledge-base development, custom business applications, and model post-training are scoped separately, with their own responsibilities and acceptance criteria.
Start the conversation
Share the target tasks, candidate model, existing hardware, and expected concurrent users. We will first determine whether the environment can carry the workload, then define implementation and test scope.
