Batch LLM Inference on Anyscale slashes AWS Bedrock costs by up to 6x

What's this blog post about?

Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized the technology industry, with a focus on optimizing inference costs due to high GPU prices. While online inference provides low-latency responses, batch inference for LLMs offers higher throughput and greater cost-effectiveness by optimizing GPU resource utilization. In certain cases, Anyscale can reduce costs by up to 2.9x compared to online inference providers such as AWS Bedrock and OpenAI. RayLLM-Batch is a library leveraging Ray and Anyscale components to optimize LLM batch inference at scale, offering a powerful, cost-effective solution for large-scale batch LLM inference. Experiments show that the Anyscale FP8 batch inference solution can outperform other common solutions on price-performance.
