The paper presents a Pareto atlas of LLM inference optimizations, mapping cost, quality, and latency trade‑offs for Qwen2.5‑7B‑Instruct on L4, A100, and H100 GPUs. Using 54 measured configurations and a calibrated simulator, it identifies 18 of 36 setups on the Pareto frontier, showing that combined methods outperform single ones. Quality tests reveal that AWQ 4bit and FP8 weights offer significant latency reductions while largely preserving accuracy, but naive FP8 KV caching fails to answer any questions correctly.

The paper argues that AI deployment performance depends on interactions among compression, compiler transformations, and serving policies rather than just model architecture. It introduces a three‑layer taxonomy—model‑level techniques, compiler transformations, and system policies—and frames deployment as a constrained multi‑objective optimization problem over accuracy, latency, throughput, memory footprint, and energy. The authors propose an evidence protocol for comparable benchmarking and synthesize data from edge and data‑center platforms to show that cross‑layer interactions drive deployment outcomes, concluding with a constraint‑aware selection procedure and open research problems.
