Pros
- Core compiler is developed in the open
- Targets several hardware architectures
- Supports cloud and private deployment models
Cons
- No simple public starting price is published
- Performance depends on model and hardware compatibility
- Production migration requires benchmarking and engineering work
Limitations
Luminal can improve inference performance, but benchmark results vary by model, precision, sequence shape, hardware, traffic, and deployment configuration. Teams should reproduce results on representative workloads and review numerical quality, support, portability, and total infrastructure cost.
