Reviewer scorecard
“If you need distributed AI compute, Ray + Anyscale is the standard. Training and serving at any scale.”
“PagedAttention is a breakthrough for inference efficiency. The standard for production self-hosted LLM serving.”
“Most teams don't need distributed compute. Cloud provider GPU instances handle 90% of fine-tuning needs.”
“If you're self-hosting LLMs, vLLM is the obvious choice. Battle-tested and actively maintained.”
“Ray is becoming the distributed computing standard for AI. Anyscale manages the hard parts.”
“Self-hosted inference will remain important for latency, cost, and privacy. vLLM is the infrastructure layer.”
