Reduce Machine Learning system inference compute-time and infrastructure cost by 20–50%.

Determine which inputs need complex, deep analysis, and reserve compute-time for those inputs.

Stop Running Full Inference on Easy Predictions

Every inference has a cost in dollars, based on the number of computations that need to be executed.

For text classification, inference costs $1/1M inferences. At scale, with 1B inferences / day, this costs $365k / year.

moco analyzes model behavior and automatically routes easy predictions through cheaper decision paths. This increases computational capacity for the difficult cases, results in throughput improvements, or latency reductions or can be accepted as cost-savings.

The bottom line: moco reduces the cost per inference from $1 / 1M inferences to $0.5 - $0.8 / 1M inferences, saving 20-50% of compute-time related costs, in this case $72,000-$183,000 a year.

Built for production-scale inference systems

moco reduces unnecessary inference computation in both real-time and batched machine learning systems operating at production scale.

The largest infrastructure savings occur in systems processing massive request volumes, expensive transformer inference, or strict latency constraints.

Financial Fraud Detection

Real-Time and Batched Fraud Detection is latency constrained and compute-constrained respectively.

  • Real-Time Fraud Detection Systems: moco unlocks compute budget to apply more analytics to the hard cases, increasing the accuracy of the system, saving false positives and false negatives.
  • Batched Fraud Detection Systems: moco unlocks reduces runs the same inference with less physical hardware, saving money in compute-time and infra.

System Types

Embedded Systems

moco supports embedded inference pipelines where compute and power are constrained.

  • Existing PyTorch models can be transformed into routed hierarchical classifiers.
  • Expensive model execution is conditionally avoided for easy predictions.
  • Reduced average compute-time enables lower-power inference deployments.
  • Compatible with ONNX export and edge deployment workflows.
Battery-Powered Edge Devices / IoT

Edge inference systems benefit from lower power consumption and reduced average computation.

  • Lower average FLOPs/inference extends battery life for always-on systems.
  • Reduced compute demand lowers thermal load on constrained hardware.
  • Smaller inference workloads enable more models to run on-device.
Real-Time Systems

Latency-sensitive systems benefit from avoiding unnecessary expensive computation.

  • Many production systems are bottlenecked by feature loading, graph queries, and deep model execution.
  • moco helps determine when expensive computation can be skipped safely.
  • Reduced infrastructure load enables smaller serving fleets and higher throughput on existing hardware.
Batched Inference Pipelines

Large offline inference jobs directly benefit from lower compute-time per prediction.

  • Reduced average computation increases total system throughput.
  • Lower GPU-hours reduce infrastructure and cloud compute costs.
  • Existing hardware can process larger datasets without scaling infrastructure.
