For companies with hundreds of models, giving each one a dedicated GPU is economically impossible. You must move toward a multi-model serving architecture that allows models to share GPU and VRAM capacity.
Sharing GPUs Safely
1. Fractional GPUs (NVIDIA MIG)
Use MIG to split a single H100 or A100 into isolated instances. This is perfect for fintech fraud detection or e-commerce personalization where latency is critical but the models are compact.
2. Triton Inference Server
Runtimes like NVIDIA Triton allow multiple models to be loaded onto a single GPU and scheduled efficiently. This significantly reduces idle GPU waste.
3. Dynamic Loading and Caching
For less-frequently used models, implement a system that loads models onto GPUs only when needed and caches them for subsequent requests.
Final Takeaway
Multi-model serving is the key to scaling AI affordably. By using fractional GPUs and efficient runtimes, you can serve hundreds of models with the same infrastructure footprint as a handful of dedicated instances.
