AgentPerfBench (arXiv, Sep 28) proposes a benchmark suite for inference performance of agentic LLMs, arguing that serving engines like vLLM and SGLang are tuned against workloads that don't represent agents.
Earlier contextThe story so far
On Sep 8 AWS published GPU-instance benchmarks for small LLM inference on SageMaker AI, comparing G5, G6, G6e and G7 on throughput, latency and cost per token. Sep 24 brought NVIDIA's SWE-Serve, which benchmarks agentic engineering for production inference serving.

What to watch — open questions
- Do AgentPerfBench results show different engine or hardware rankings than chat-style benchmarks?
- Will AWS repeat its G7 vs G5/G6 comparison with an agentic workload?
