Term of the Day: Frontier model serving cost
Frontier model serving cost estimates the cost of running the most capable AI models at production scale. These models are usually larger, more expensive, and more latency-sensitive than smaller open or specialized models. The cost can include premium GPUs, high memory needs, caching, batching limits, and redundant capacity.
