Remote VAEs for decoding with Inference Endpoints 🤗
Our Take
Remote VAEs sound sexy, but let's talk deployment reality. Setting up inference endpoints just adds layers of complexity. You're trading local processing simplicity for distributed infrastructure headaches and latency concerns. It only makes sense if you're scaling to millions of concurrent requests, otherwise you're just adding unnecessary operational debt.
What To Do
Benchmark the end-to-end latency cost of remote endpoints against running optimized local models on dedicated edge hardware.
