vLLM on EKS: Cut LLM Storage Costs by 95% with S3 Mountpoint

Intro When scaling AI models like DeepSeek or Qwen on Amazon EKS, engineering teams obsess over GPU utilization while quietly bleeding money on storage bloat. Because standard EBS volumes force a 1:1 replica-to-disk ratio, scaling a single 70GB model to 20 pods doesn’t cost 70GB, it forces you to provision 1.4 Terabytes of redundant EBS …

โšกDiffusion model caching: TeaCache

Intro If you’ve been following along, we’ve already covered vLLM-Omni and how diffusion models work. But here’s the dirty secret of diffusion models: they don’t run a single expensive computation, they run it many times per generation. 50 steps means 50 full forward passes through a multi-billion-parameter transformer. That’s a lot of GPU hours burned …

vLLM Production Stack on CoreWeave CKS with Terraform๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿผโ€๐Ÿš€

Intro The vLLM Production Stack is designed to run on any Kubernetes-based infrastructure. After covering AWS , Azure, Google Cloud and Nebius MK8s implementations, today we’re deploying vLLM production-stack on CoreWeave Kubernetes (CKS) with the same Terraform framework. CoreWeave is one of the hottest NeoCould built on the idea that GenAI workloads donโ€™t need virtualization; they need direct access to …

Diffusion Models explained: From Noise to Pixels

Intro Today, most of us have used nano banana, Midjourney, Kling AI, Luma, or Sora to generate silly videos or catchy images on socials. But what do they share in common? They all rely on Diffusion Models as their core engine, even the brand new Seedance. While many of these are proprietary, the open-source world …
