This is one I’ve written for my one-year-younger self. Why this matters As an AI researcher, I spent most of my career focused on models and data. When it came to optimizing runtime, whether for data processing or model inference, I typically relied on batching or multiprocessing. I had very little exposure to asynchronous execution, and I didn’t think I needed it. That changed when I stepped into the world of scaffolded LLM systems. ...
