Large Language Models (LLMs) are integrated into software systems and AI services, making efficient LLM serving a concern for software engineering. Serving LLMs is challenging because inference requires computation, memory, GPU resources, and execution while maintaining latency and throughput.
arXiv:2608. 15127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic applications are shifting AI serving from isolated model inference to long-running workloads in which LLMs coordinate tools, environments, and persistent state.

The survey reviews how Large Language Models (LLMs) are being used in High‑Performance Computing (HPC) programming, covering code generation, parallelization, frameworks, evaluation, and broader challenges. It finds that general‑purpose LLMs perform adequately on serial and OpenMP‑style tasks but struggle with distributed MPI workloads, while domain‑specialized models achieve higher accuracy yet are limited in scope and evaluation. The authors argue that LLMs will not replace HPC experts soon but can act as powerful collaborators, provided richer datasets, integration with performance tools, rigorous evaluation, and governance are developed.

Flama is an open‑source Python framework that unifies the development and deployment of production‑ready web APIs, machine‑learning services, and large‑language‑model (LLM) applications. Built on ASGI, it offers an async‑first, type‑driven programming model with seven subsystems—including dependency injection, a pluggable schema layer, automatic CRUD generation, a portable binary model format, a multi‑backend LLM server, a Rust‑accelerated core, and a Model Context Protocol module. The framework also provides built‑in JWT authentication, pagination, background tasks, WebSocket and streaming support, OpenAPI generation, and a CLI for running, packaging, and inspecting models.
