Inference Cost-Cut Pack

Cut inference cost and p95 latency on the workload you actually run — with a reproducible harness you keep.

Production AI gets expensive in predictable ways: GPU utilisation drifts low while bills rise, latency makes a feature feel unusable, or serving cost eats margin as usage grows. The default response — swap the model, change cloud, hire a platform team — often skips the cheapest wins. We profile the workload first and aim for fewer dollars and fewer milliseconds per request on the workload you actually run.

How the Engagement Runs

An Audit On-Ramp, Then the Optimisation Sprint

The Audit is the visible, low-commitment way in — it finds where the cost leaks; the Optimisation Sprint then implements the high-confidence changes it ranked. Pricing is fixed on the Audit and milestone or fixed-price on the Optimisation Sprint — a measured delta on a defined workload, not engineer-weeks against a backlog.

Audit phase

Audit On-Ramp

2–8 weeks

A ranked optimisation backlog, an ROI model, and a reproducible baseline harness — the low-commitment doorway for teams not yet sure where the cost is leaking.

Sprint phase

Optimisation Sprint

4–8 weeks

Implementation of the high-confidence changes the Audit ranked, a before/after delta report, and the harness that produced the numbers.

What You Keep

A reproducible before/after report on a fixed workload — cost-per-request delta, p95 latency delta, and GPU utilisation delta where it applies — plus the harness that produced the numbers. You re-run it on representative inputs after handover and the numbers reproduce within an agreed tolerance, or we are not done. It survives the engagement, binds future regressions, and protects you from optimisation work that leaves behind a faster system and nothing replayable.

What the Harness Is

For the buyer, the harness turns "we optimised it" into something an engineering organisation can defend, regress against, and reuse: a reproducible workload definition with version pins, a replay script that runs the workload against a target deployment, profiler traces for the baseline and the post-change run, before/after logs on the metric set agreed at Audit time, and a short README that lets a different engineer re-run the rig. That is the deliverable the pack is priced against.

Not Sure This Is the Right Pack?

If the runtime, silicon, or form factor has no working AI path yet, that is the AI Porting & Deployment Pack. If the model gives wrong answers or there are no release gates catching regressions, that is the Production AI Monitoring Harness. If a committee needs LLM model-comparison evidence, that is the LLM Selection Pack. If the question is whether you are ready to deploy at all, that is the AI Readiness Scorecard.

How We Know This Works

Low-level inference-performance engineering, from GPU cost modelling to embedded video coding. These engagements pre-date the packaged Sprint and stand as bridged proof.

Inference Cost-Cut Pack FAQ

Why profile the workload before swapping the model or changing cloud?

+

The cheapest wins are usually inside the serving stack — batch sizes, caching, routing, quantisation, kernel choices, serving topology — not in model substitution or a cloud move. We measure the workload first and surface the changes that carry the economic weight on the requests you actually run, with a measured baseline and a defensible delta.

What does the before/after report actually measure?

+

A cost-per-request delta, a p95 latency delta, and a GPU utilisation delta where it applies, on one fixed workload — plus workload-specific extras such as cost-per-token or transcoding frame-rate. The harness that produced the numbers ships with the report.

Do I keep the harness after the engagement?

+

Yes. The harness is the deliverable: a reproducible workload definition, a replay script, profiler traces, before/after logs on the agreed metric set, and a README a different engineer can follow. You re-run it on representative inputs after handover and the numbers reproduce within an agreed tolerance, or we are not done.

Is the Pack priced as engineer-weeks?

+

No. Pricing is fixed against the Audit and milestone or fixed-price against the Optimisation Sprint. The Optimisation Sprint is a measured delta on a defined workload, not engineer-weeks against a backlog. When a deep-GPU sub-scope genuinely needs time-and-materials, we record it as a separate scope rather than re-pricing the headline.

What if the AI path doesn't exist on my target yet?

+

That is porting, not cost-cutting. If the runtime, silicon, or form factor has no working AI path yet, the right engagement is the AI Porting & Deployment Pack. The Inference Cost-Cut Pack assumes the workload already runs in production on a mature stack.

Start a Conversation

If your workload runs in production on a mature stack and you have access to traces, representative inputs, and cost data, the Audit is the right entry point. The AI-infrastructure / SaaS, media & telecom, and retail crosswalks all route inference-cost work through this pack.
