Local LLM Inference

LLM Inference Acceleration

Prepare inputs and settings through LLM Inference Acceleration before running local llm inference.

Why this matters

LLM Inference Acceleration sets up the foundation for local llm inference; clean inputs here reduce downstream rework.

What you get

Inputs, context, and settings are ready so the workflow can move into execution without blockers.

“Intel Distribution of OpenVINO Toolkit handles llm inference acceleration with precision — Accelerate deep learning inference across Intel hardware for edge and cloud deployment. Getting this preparation step right avoids rework later in the local llm inference pipeline.”

AI Model Inference

Use AI Model Inference to build supporting assets that improve local llm inference quality.

Why this matters

AI Model Inference strengthens local llm inference by feeding better supporting material into the pipeline.

What you get

Supporting assets from ai model inference are prepared and connected to the main workflow.

“Tenstorrent strengthens the local llm inference workflow by handling ai model inference — Compute for every scale. Where AI Runs. Better supporting inputs here directly improve the final output quality.”

3Core · Step 3 of 6

Execute local llm inference with Local LLM Inference to produce the primary final deliverable.

Why this matters

This is the core step where local llm inference actually happens, so it determines baseline quality for everything after it.

What you get

A first-pass final deliverable is generated and ready for refinement in the next steps.

“PrivateGPT leads at local llm inference — Interact privately with your documents using the power of LLMs. It consistently ranks as the highest-fit tool for this core step.”

Edge Inference

Refine and validate local llm inference output using Edge Inference before final delivery.

Why this matters

Edge Inference adds quality control so issues are caught before the workflow is finalized.

What you get

The final deliverable is improved, validated, and prepared for final delivery.

LLM Serving

Package and ship the output through LLM Serving so local llm inference reaches end users.

Why this matters

LLM Serving is what turns intermediate output into a usable, publishable result for real users.

What you get

A finalized final deliverable is ready for publishing, handoff, or integration.

“Baseten takes care of llm serving — Serverless infrastructure for high-performance ML model inference and deployment. This is the final step that gets the local llm inference result in front of real users.”
