M*: A Modular, Extensible Serving System for Efficient Multimodal AI Inference
Researchers have developed M*, a universal serving system for composite AI models that integrates diverse components like vision encoders and language backbones. Using a novel 'Walk Graph' abstraction, M* achieves significant performance improvements: 20% lower latency for text-to-image, up to 2.7x higher throughput for text-to-speech, and 12.5x faster robotic planning rollouts compared to existing baselines.
