You measure the things that block, to predict when they will queue. Your async dispatcher still takes time per request. The resources that each request needs will eventually be exhausted. Your network interface isn't infinitely fast. I

That doesn't change the meaning of Open Source. These are "free as in beer", not "free as in [modify the sources and rebuild it]". There are LLMs for which that is true, which include a specific list of training dat
