“Since the moment I began working with Mustafa he has shown remarkable initiative, sound judgement, and technical expertise. During his internship, Mustafa took full ownership of a complex feature request with a challenging deadline -- designing the user interface, building the supporting database architecture, and integrating the completed solution seamlessly into an existing system without introducing regressions. His ability to deliver end-to-end while maintaining high quality standards is deeply impressive. Mustafa’s work style is defined by independence paired with thoughtful collaboration. He has driven projects and initiatives forward on his own, yet engaged the team at key moments to exchange ideas and ensure alignment. He also demonstrated exceptional communication skills, both in explaining technical details to colleagues and in presenting progress clearly and confidently to customers. Beyond his technical abilities, Mustafa is simply a pleasure to work with. He is kind, respectful, and elevates the team environment through his positive and professional demeanor. Mustafa is creative, disciplined, and highly capable. I would recommend him without hesitation to any team looking for someone who will not only deliver but also raise the bar for those around him.

I was in San Francisco✈️ this weekend and got the opportunity to review the codebase of a very early-stage startup🔥. It was interesting to see how products built on LLM wrappers actually run in real environments. As someone who works in LLM systems, I always assumed things like KV-cache, prefilling, and TTFT were widely understood. But many teams, especially early-stage ones, don’t always think deeply about these details, even though they make a big difference in performance. ⚙️🚀 One example I saw was passing the full conversation history to the model on every request. It works, but it forces the model to recompute everything from scratch, adding unnecessary latency. If you're using inference APIs, reusing the 𝐊𝐕 𝐜𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞 from previous requests can give you a huge boost. With OpenAI, this is done through 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬, which creates a session on their side where your KV cache is stored. This reduces prefilling time and also cuts down network overhead because you're sending less data each time. ⏱️📉 I believe many of you are already using this. If not, I recommend reading about 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 and 𝐊𝐕 𝐜𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞 reuse, it’s a small change that can make your system much faster. 📚💡 And if you rely heavily on inference and latency is becoming a pain point, I’d be happy to look at your implementation and share suggestions to the best of my knowledge. 🤝🚀 #LLMSystems #InferenceOptimization #KVCache #OpenAIThreads

Mukund Sundarajan has a new book - An Eye for AI. His previous book "Thinking Like A Large Language Model" provided mental models of how LLMs work and how one can use them. This new book talks about his experiences with evaluating and deploying LLMs. He leads the reader through the many challenges of evaluating LLMs using various case studies - in each case illustrating the critical detective skills needed to detect, diagnose and fix problems in LLM deployments. These insights will be invaluable to anyone seeking to use LLMs in real world scenarios, but more broadly encourage an analytical mindset that is valuable for any engineer, software or otherwise. Definitely read it if you build LLM applications, but if not, read it anyway for an insightful and entertaining afternoon.
