Good question.

This isn’t for single-model apps running steady traffic at high utilization. If you’re saturating GPUs 24/7, you’ll architect very differently.

This is for teams that…

• Serve many models with uneven traffic • Run per-customer fine-tunes • Offer model marketplaces • Do evaluation / experimentation at scale • Have spiky workloads • Don’t want idle GPU burn between requests

A lot of SaaS AI products fall into that category. They aren’t OpenAI-scale. They’re running dozens of models with unpredictable demand.

Lambda exists because not every workload is steady state. Same idea here.
