In this tutorial, we work through an end-to-end workflow for Qualcomm AI Hub Models. We start by setting up the required package, discovering the available model collection, and loading MobileNet-V2 for local PyTorch inference. We also handle an important input-shape issue by converting NHWC image tensors into the NCHW format expected by the model. From

In production inference deployments, demand fluctuates over time, requiring inference replicas to scale elastically. Cold-starting inference workloads on Kubernetes can take several minutes. During that time, GPUs are allocated but idle, generating no tokens and serving no requests. ‘Cold start’ means the full sequence a model server must complete before serving any request: pulling the
