- [Serverless GPUs vs Reserved GPUs: What Actually Works for Inference](https://www.yottalabs.ai/post/serverless-gpus-vs-reserved-gpus-what-actually-works-for-inference.md): Choosing between serverless and reserved GPUs isn’t about price alone. It’s about how closely costs track real inference demand.
- [Scaling RLHF Training Without the Complexity](https://www.yottalabs.ai/post/scaling-rlhf-training-without-the-complexity.md): Yotta Labs contributed to a new SkyPilot integration to VeRL (Volcano Engine Reinforcement Learning), the open-source RL library for LLMs. Now, with just one YAML + one command, you can launch and scale multi-node RLHF training jobs across AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, or Yotta Labs infrastructure.
- [Why Static GPU Allocation Breaks Down at Scale](https://www.yottalabs.ai/post/why-static-gpu-allocation-breaks-down-at-scale.md): Static GPU allocation works early, but it breaks down as inference workloads scale. Fixed assignments lead to idle capacity, rising costs, and brittle infrastructure that can’t adapt to real demand.
- [Use Cases for Integrating Decentralized Storage into Yotta Platform](https://www.yottalabs.ai/post/use-cases-for-integrating-decentralized-storage-into-yotta-platform.md): Integrating a decentralized storage solution provides a robust data-centric ecosystem that enhances Yotta OS with high data availability, secure data ownership, and performance acceleration. In this article, we explore how Yotta OS can leverage decentralized storage, as summarized in Figure 1.
- [Why Orchestration, Not Hardware, Determines Inference Performance at Scale](https://www.yottalabs.ai/post/why-orchestration-not-hardware-determines-inference-performance-at-scale.md): At scale, inference performance is driven less by GPU specs and more by how workloads are scheduled and managed.
- [Decentralized Inference with Ray and vLLM](https://www.yottalabs.ai/post/decentralized-inference-with-ray-and-vllm.md): Large AI models often demand significant computation power for inference. Such computation power is traditionally supplied by physical clusters in a centralized data center, which creates barriers for the users to access in a cost effective manner. We introduce a decentralized model-inference engine, called YottaFusion, built upon Ray and vLLM to address this problem. By aggregating scattered GPU resources across geo-distributed regions, we provide a unified virtual cluster across private networks, enabling the user to access sufficient GPU sources in a transparent way.
- [Why GPU Capacity Planning Is Harder Than It Looks in Production AI](https://www.yottalabs.ai/post/why-gpu-capacity-planning-is-harder-than-it-looks-in-production-ai.md): GPU capacity planning works early, but inference demand quickly turns it into a moving target.
- [Why Inference Becomes the Real Cost Bottleneck in Production AI](https://www.yottalabs.ai/post/why-inference-becomes-the-real-cost-bottleneck-in-production-ai.md): Training gets the attention, but inference drives long-term cost in production AI. At scale, utilization and orchestration matter more than GPU pricing.
- [Yotta Labs’ Mission](https://www.yottalabs.ai/post/yotta-labs-mission.md): Across the globe, AI factories are rising — massive new data centers built not to serve up web pages or email, but to train and deploy intelligence itself. Internet giants have invested billions in cloud-scale AI infrastructure for their...
