InferenceMax AI benchmark tests software stacks, efficiency, and TCO — vendor-neutral suite runs nightly and tracks performance changes over time

News coverage surrounding artificial intelligence almost invariably focuses on the deals that send hundreds of billions of dollars flying, or the latest hardware developments in the GPU or datacenter world. Benchmarking efforts have almost exclusively focused on the silicon, though, and that’s what SemiAnalysis intends to address with its open-source InferenceMax AI benchmarking suite. It measures the efficiency of the many components of AI software stacks in real-world inference scenarios (when AI…
