SummaryA technique for migrating model layers between GPUs during active inference, completing the transfer in 8 milliseconds without requiring a context re-prefill pass.
Why it mattersConcrete timing data for live layer migration during generation, relevant to anyone running multi-GPU local inference and looking at dynamic load balancing.
