Topics

Inference economics

Why the same workload costs multiples more on one chip than another, and why the premium is not a constant. How to measure it, model it, and act on it.

Compute placement

The decision that precedes every inference dollar: where does this workload run? The tools and primitives that make that decision legible.

Measurement methodology

How to run a benchmark that means something. Provenance, held-out splits, pre-registered gates, and what a failed validation tells you that a passing one cannot.

Release notes

Technical notes accompanying each major release of berth, with the reasoning behind design decisions and the raw validation data.
