LLM inference engines provide specialized runtimes and execution backends optimized to run large language models efficiently across consumer GPUs, edge devices, and enterprise servers. They are used by machine learning engineers and developers who need maximum token throughput, low latency, and minimal memory footprints when serving models. Unlike training frameworks or high-level AI app builders, these products focus strictly on the low-level execution layer through custom kernels, quantization, and hardware-specific hardware acceleration.
