Inference
Definition
The process of using a trained AI model to make predictions or generate outputs from new input data.In-Depth Explanation
Unlike training, inference only performs forward passes through the network without updating weights. Inference speed and cost are crucial for production deployment. Optimizations include quantization, distillation, and specialized hardware (GPUs, TPUs).
Real-World Example
When you send a prompt to ChatGPT, the model runs inference to generate a response.
