Articles from July 2026
Transformer Inference, From HTTP Request to the Next Token
A systems-level tour of prefill, decode, batching, memory movement, and the scheduling decisions that determine real-world LLM latency.
KV Cache Engineering for LLM Inference
How to size, allocate, reuse, compress, and evict the state that makes autoregressive decoding practical.
Semantic Caching Without Serving the Wrong Answer Faster
A production design for similarity keys, freshness, authorization, invalidation, and the economics that determine when semantic reuse is safe.
Speculative Decoding Without Hand-Waving
Draft models, acceptance math, tree proposals, and the operational details that decide whether speculation makes serving faster.
Synthetic Evaluation Data That Finds Real Failures
How to generate, filter, diversify, and maintain synthetic cases without turning an evaluation suite into a mirror of its generator.
The LLM Gateway Is a Policy Engine, Not a Proxy
Designing the routing, budgets, identity, resilience, and evidence layer between products and a changing model portfolio.
Privacy-Preserving AI Is a Dataflow Architecture
Purpose limitation, minimization, isolation, retention, redaction, and verifiable deletion across retrieval, models, tools, traces, and feedback loops.
In the age of AI
The advantage was never the model. It's knowing what to build with it — and having a team that can actually ship it.
That's the part I help with: finding where AI genuinely makes your business faster, deciding what's worth building, and standing behind it once it's live.
