  • Scaling AI: Think Operators, Not Models
    Nov 15 2025

    Scaling large AI models to meet dynamic traffic is slow and leads to significant resource waste. Researchers at Microsoft Azure Research and Rice University are rethinking this process, finding that scaling the entire model as a monolith is inefficient. Their breakthrough, "operator-level autoscaling," scales just the specific bottleneck parts (operators) of the model instead of the whole thing. This new approach is far more efficient, preserving performance while using up to 40% fewer GPUs and 35% less energy.

    The GenAI Learner podcast explains this new, efficient approach in simple terms.
