Abstract visualization of tokens flowing from an API request into a GPU as parallel compute lanes.

From Prompt to Pixels: Tracing an LLM Request Through an API to a GPU

We follow a single chat completion request from a client SDK down through the inference server, into the model runner, and finally into the CUDA kernels that execute on a GPU — with the bottlenecks and knobs along the way.

Abstract network diagram showing an API endpoint branching into multiple tool calls and looping back to itself.

Building Agentic APIs: When Your Endpoint Thinks for Itself

Agentic APIs trade the predictable request-response contract for an autonomous, tool-using endpoint that plans, retries, and adapts. This post covers the architecture, observability, and security patterns needed to ship them reliably.
