NVIDIA Engineers Xianglong Lu and Bo Chu Discuss Agentic AI Inference Architecture on Kubernetes
NVIDIA engineers Xianglong Lu and Bo Chu shared production experiences of running Agentic AI inference on Kubernetes via the PyTorch channel, exploring key issues such as cache-aware routing, prefill-decode disaggregation, and stateful coordination.

NVIDIA engineers Xianglong Lu and Bo Chu published a video on the PyTorch official channel sharing production lessons from running Agentic AI inference on Kubernetes. As Agentic AI redefines inference workloads, long tool-call workflows create sustained KV-cache pressure; parallel subagents need shared prefixes and consistent routing; and sessions must survive pod/GPU failures without losing context.
The talk highlights the use of NVIDIA Dynamo for cache-aware routing and disaggregated serving, and RoleBasedGroup (RBG) for stateful continuity, discovery, and role/unit coordination across pipeline stages. The speakers compared deployment patterns (Dynamo-native vs RBG), discussed what broke under cache contention and partial failures, and explained how they modeled routing, session continuity, recovery, and observability in Kubernetes-native ways.
