Day 13 of Green, Efficient AI is live — The Queue You Never Built.
Most inference traffic is not waiting on a human. It is waiting on a loop.
Embeddings for an index that refreshes hourly. Classifications for a moderation queue. Summaries for a morning digest. Evaluations that run overnight.
None of these need a sub-second answer. Almost all of them are dispatched as if they did.
The GPU does not care whether it processes one request or thirty in the same forward pass. The bill does. The grid does.
Today’s issue is about the latency budget nobody set, and what changes when the question is finally asked.
