"Finding more RAM or GPUs is always a chore and sometimes impossible. If the model doesn't fit or run smoothly on the hardware, it can't be a solution."
"The time to first token, or TTFT, is important for real-time, interactive applications where the end user will be daydreaming while waiting for some answer on the screen."
"All combinations of models and hardware have a speed limit. If you're supplying the hardware, you can establish the maximum load through testing."
Hosting models requires attention to hardware compatibility, including RAM and GPU availability. The time to first token (TTFT) is critical for interactive applications, affecting user experience. Some models respond quickly but slow down later, while others take longer to start. Rate limits exist for all model and hardware combinations, impacting processing capabilities. Users must test hardware limits or consider alternative providers if project demands exceed current capabilities.
