ThunderAgent: 2x Faster Agentic Inference for Synthetic Data Generation at Scale
Together AI 2 months ago 35 ● 3 sources
Researchers introduced ThunderAgent, a scheduling system that eliminates inefficient KV cache eviction during multi-turn agent reasoning by treating entire agentic workflows as schedulable programs rather than individual requests. The system achieved 2.5× single-node throughput improvement and 2.4× speedup on an 8-node cluster with near-linear scaling from 16 to 64 GPUs in synthetic data generation workloads. The approach enables existing inference engines to handle concurrent agentic inference more efficiently without architectural changes to underlying models or backends.
