Deploying Bayesian models in production often requires balancing predictive accuracy with low-latency inference. A common approach is to use inference data from PyMC and perform pm.sample_posterior_predictive. While effective, this method typically takes seconds, which is unacceptable when latency requirements are in milliseconds. Alte...
