Agentic Inference in Production: 4 Key Decisions | CoreWeave

This post details four key infrastructure decisions for agentic inference in production: optimizing for Time-to-First-Token (TTFT) vs. End-to-End Completion, routing based on least-connections vs. session identity vs. prefix overlap, scaling on latency/throughput vs. concurrent requests with scale-to-zero vs. warm replica floor, and measuring cost per token vs. cost per task. It also provides six questions to help determine traffic shape and guide the choice of deployment model (how much of the serving stack to own).
