Equation 17 · Part 1 · How AI Inference Serving Actually Works

Symbol gamma

γ\gamma
γ\gamma

What this part means

the number of tokens.

Its job in the formula

gamma is a part of this expression. Its role is fixed by the surrounding article and by the operations shown in the formula.

Where the article explains it

Model the draft’s acceptance probability as α\alpha per token, roughly constant and independent across the γ\gamma tokens proposed in a round — an idealization real traffic does not fully satisfy, but a useful one for seeing the ceiling.

The passage around this formula

The size of the win has a clean shape. Model the draft’s acceptance probability as α\alpha per token, roughly constant and independent across the γ\gamma tokens proposed in a round — an idealization real traffic does not fully satisfy, but a useful one for seeing the ceiling. The expected number of tokens accepted per verification round is then
