Deploying open-source LLMs (like Llama-3) or real-time Whisper transcription in production often forces a difficult architectural trade-off: keep dedicated GPUs running 24/7 (expensive) or rely on serverless scale-to-zero (cold start latency penalty). To evaluate container spin-up overhead, we benc…
