vLLM Metrics — What to Chart and What to Alert On
The series vLLM exposes answer questions GPU metrics cannot: how many requests are running versus waiting right now, how full the KV cache is, how long until the first token. This post reads the official vLLM documentati

LlamaWeb, the WebGPU backend for llama.cpp released by a UC Santa Cruz team in May 2026, left behind the widest dataset to date measuring browser LLM inference — 16 devices across 8 vendors. The results cut both ways. It

A complete technical breakdown of how NPUs differ from CPUs and GPUs, how every transformer operation maps to hardware, and why LLM inference is memory-bound — not compute-bound. From Apple ANE to Qualcomm Hexagon, Groq
