Hey TND,

I've just checked airbrix's system diagram - looks similar to me, as it also aims to distribute LLM inference in a cluster. Not sure if all the components are doing exactly the same thing, but I see airbrix has:

- API gateway (similar to dynamo)

- Distributes llm engines in pods (similar to dynamo prefill/decode workers)

- Writes to a distributed cache (similar to dynamo's NIXL interface and KV Memory Manager)

- Control Plane autoscaler (similar to dynamo's Event Plane)

I don't see airbrix doing disaggregated prefill/decode exactly as dynamo does it, but I think it also has a smart distributed KV cache handling.

Thanks for mentioning it, I'll dig a bit deeper into airbrix and research it, maybe I'll write about it in a future article.
