LLM Inference Optimization

More intelligence.
For every dollar.

Reducing cost of AI

Give your engineers more room to build and your customers more room to explore. TensorOps brings models, infrastructure and operations together to make every inference budget go further.

We build optimized
LLM factories.

A shared inference platform gives every team access to the models they need. We design the gateway, connect managed and self-hosted LLMs, and tune the whole system around quality, latency, data policies and cost.

Match the model to the work

Different tasks.
Different cost profiles.

Efficient models suit well-defined work. Frontier models bring deeper capability to complex tasks. Open-weight models add managed or self-hosted options. We evaluate the mix on your actual workflows, including retries and human review.

Make quality part of the cost equation. Compare cost per accepted change or resolved customer request. For self-hosting, include GPU utilization, serving operations and capacity headroom in the calculation.

Interactive coding benefits from immediate feedback. Independent background tasks can allow a 30-second batching window. Explore prefill, decode and the throughput improvement that would deliver up to 75% lower GPU inference cost in this illustrative scenario.

A little scheduling flexibility can unlock a much busier GPU. Larger batches share model-weight reads across more sequences. TensorOps tunes the scheduler, memory capacity and serving stack to turn that opportunity into measured savings.

The 75% example assumes 4× end-to-end throughput at the same GPU hourly cost: 1 − 1/4 = 75%. A 30s wait alone does not establish that gain. Actual savings depend on traffic, model, context, KV-cache capacity and latency targets. This illustrates scheduling delay, not extra reasoning tokens or a provider’s Batch API price.
