Open-weight LLMs in production: quantization, batching, failover
The infrastructure story behind FerretOut: what it actually takes to run open-weight models (27B-class) in production on rented GPUs. Quantization trade-offs measured against honest evals, batch scheduling that keeps the GPU saturated without starving interactive calls, and tunnel/failover plumbing so a single dead box never takes the product down.
The differentiator this unlocks: private inference on dedicated hardware — for HIPAA or data-residency-sensitive builds, your data never has to leave machines you control.
