Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Design an LLM Serving Platform. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Scenario

You are designing the serving stack for a product that uses large language models in production. Different requests have different latency, cost, and safety needs, and the system must handle traffic from multiple user segments.

Question

How would you design an LLM serving system that balances latency, cost, scalability, and safety?
