Processing 100 trillion tokens in a quarter requires elite infrastructure execution Microsoft recently demonstrated 1.1 million tokens/sec on a single Azure ND GB300 v6 rack running Llama 2 70B under MLPerf Inference v5.1 benchmark conditions. However, the software engineering reality behind these metrics reveals major architectural challenges. As inference efficiency improves, unbounded token usage is triggering enterprise budget shocks and driving gross margin compression.
This article breaks down the engineering and financial realities of scaling enterprise AI, including model selection tactics, small model strategies (SLMs), and managing inference unit economics.
