Inside DeepInfer

How an LLM Inference Engine Works

Jianxin Zhao

A guide to inference-engine behaviour through source walkthroughs and 28 CPU-based educational experiments: scheduling, state ownership, expert parallelism, speculative decoding and correctness.

The book describes its AI-assisted production process, the author’s editorial responsibility and the limits of its teaching experiments. These experiments are not performance measurements of the full engine.
