Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
The Gateway API Inference Extension adds Kubernetes resources for grouping model-serving pods into an inference-aware pool and mapping a model name to weighted targets within it. A data-plane component reads each replica's queue depth and cache state to route every inference request to the pod best able to serve it, instead of relying on simple round-robin load balancing.
