IPnext: Next Generation Inference Platform
summary
IPnext is a modular control plane with distinct modules—metadata, planner, and deployment—that turns a model’s deployment graph into region- and hardware-specific container jobs. The planner computes global placements across CPUs, GPUs and MTIA, revisits decisions every few hours, and hands plans to a transition model that safely converges capacity changes; model owners only supply global capacity and latency budgets. Distributed models deploy as synchronized parts with data-plane collaboration, cutting previous custom infra work and speeding iteration during this early rollout.
