Capacity caps and honest backpressure: protecting small GPU boxes

Per-worker concurrency limits keep each GPU box in its sweet spot. A saturated worker is skipped; a fully saturated pool returns 503 with Retry-After immediately instead of a silently growing queue.

Branch-office AI: workers that join the farm by being switched on

A gateway that discovers its workers over mDNS on the local network, so scaling a small site is plugging in a prepared box. Static core entries and dynamic discovery compose.

Canary rollouts: trial a new model on a slice of real traffic

Mark a worker canary and give the pool a percentage: that share of callers, assigned consistently by identity hash, prefer the canary while everyone else stays on stable, and both are each other's failover.

Model-aware routing: different models on different boxes, one catalog to callers

A farm whose workers carry different model sets, where the gateway routes each request to a box that already has the model warm and advertises the union of every worker's models as one catalog.

Watching a private AI fleet: dashboards, Prometheus, and per-app chargeback

Every AI Server hosts a live dashboard and native Prometheus metrics, and its content-free audit attributes each request to app, install, and worker, so per-team chargeback needs no metering sidecar.
