What its author says it does
Copied from the file, not written here
Optimize CoreWeave GPU inference latency and throughput. Use when reducing inference latency, maximizing GPU utilization, or tuning batch sizes and concurrency. Trigger with phrases like "coreweave performance", "coreweave latency", "coreweave throughput", "optimize coreweave inference".

CoreWeave Performance Tuning
GPU Selection by Workload
| Workload | Recommended GPU | Why |
|---|---|---|
| LLM inference (7-13B) | A100 80GB | Good balance of memory and cost |
| LLM inference (70B+) | 8xH100 | NVLink for tensor parallelism |
| Image generation | L40 | Good for diffusion models |
| Training (large models) | 8xH100 SXM5 | Fastest interconnect |
| Batch processing | A100 40GB | Cost-effective |
