What actually happens when a language model answers you: the forward pass, the KV cache, memory bandwidth, batching, quantization and the tricks that make serving fast.
4 OF 9 PARTS OUT · WATCH IN ORDER
Part 1
From prompt to tokens: prefill, decode and why a model writes one token at a time.
Watch on YouTubePart 2
Why models cache keys and values, and what that saves on every new token.
Watch on YouTubePart 3
Decoding is limited by memory bandwidth, not compute, and that shapes everything else.
Watch on YouTubePart 4
Static, dynamic and continuous batching, and how servers keep the GPU busy.
Watch on YouTubePart 5
Shrinking weights to 8 and 4 bits to fit bigger models and read memory faster.

Part 6
Tiling attention so it never writes the full attention matrix to slow memory.
COMING 22 NOV, 19:30 IST
Part 7
A small draft model guesses ahead and the big model checks several tokens at once.
COMING 29 NOV, 19:30 IST
Part 8
Temperature, top-k and top-p: how the next token is actually picked.
COMING 6 DEC, 19:30 IST
Part 9
Tensor, pipeline and data parallelism for serving models that do not fit on one GPU.
