Open Source AI Inference Benchmark, also referred to as InferenceX and InferenceMAX, is an open-source benchmarking suite focused on evaluating AI inference performance. The platform provides transparent and reproducible benchmarks that measure how AI models perform during inference across a range of hardware, including NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, and software stacks. It is designed to address the need for vendor-neutral, continuously updated benchmarks as models and inference…
