So is "inferencing" accepted verb usage for serving models? For example, "inferencing the quantized granite model".

So this is a great point, early on when researching this, I rarely ever saw usage of the the verb form "inferencing" , but Ive been seeing it more and more and It seems like its a standard. I think part of the confusing part was it seemed like PMs were using "inference serving" primarily as the single word for both inferencing and serving, which still works for certain contexts. So I'll keep this term, update the description to make that more clear, and make "inferencing" an option

Seems jargony to me, vs "performing/running inference" or "inference serving". (ChatGPT and Gemini support this analysis 😃 )

From what I see, I think the its the noun form vs the verb form of inferencing. I saw inferencing used more as a noun when going through those a few of those articles. I do think I need to update these but @aireilly what do you think of the new defs with examples
