Ekrem is an AI Researcher and Data Analyst at AIMultiple. He designs and runs hands-on benchmarks for AI and LLM systems.

Professional Experience

At AIMultiple, Ekrem benchmarks end-to-end AI systems and builds the data workflows and dashboards used to track benchmark and product metrics. His benchmarks cover embedding and reranker models, vector and graph databases, inference engines, quantization, GPU concurrency and multi-GPU scaling, cloud GPU pricing and providers, text-to-SQL, and RAG and agentic RAG frameworks.

Before AIMultiple, he worked as an Assessor at Yandex, where he evaluated search quality and labeled large volumes of data against detailed guidelines to support ranking and model quality.

Research Interest

Ekrem's work focuses on the MLOps and LLMOps lifecycle and on measuring the performance of AI systems. He compares models, frameworks, and infrastructure on metrics such as accuracy, throughput, API cost, and scalability, across the stack from embedding models and vector databases to GPU and cloud infrastructure. His MSc thesis automates systematic literature reviews with a RAG-based pipeline.

Education

Ekrem holds a BA from Hacettepe University and is completing an MSc at Başkent University.

Remote Browsers: Web Infra for AI Agents Compared

AI agents rely on remote browsers to automate web tasks without being blocked by anti-scraping measures. The performance of this browser infrastructure is critical to an agent’s success. We benchmarked 8 providers on success rate, speed, and features. To do this, we executed 160 automated tasks, running 4 distinct scenarios 5 times for each service…

LLM Inference Engines: vLLM vs LMDeploy vs SGLang

We benchmarked 3 leading LLM inference engines on NVIDIA H100: vLLM, LMDeploy, and SGLang. Each engine processed identical workloads: 1,000 ShareGPT prompts using Llama 3.1 8B-Instruct to isolate the true performance impact of their architectural choices and optimization strategies. We measured offline batch throughput across 10,000 total inference operations (1,000 prompts × 10 runs per…

Top 10 Multilingual Embedding Models for RAG

We benchmarked 10 multilingual embedding models on ~606k Amazon reviews across 6 languages (German, English, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese). We generated 1,800 queries (300 per language), each referencing concrete details from its source review. Models trained for search (query vs document separation) outperform larger models trained for general text similarity: e5_base (110M params) outperforms models…

Multi-GPU Benchmark: B200 vs H200 vs H100 vs MI300X

For over two decades, optimizing compute performance has been a cornerstone of my work. We benchmarked NVIDIA’s B200, H200, H100, and AMD’s MI300X to assess how well they scale for Large Language Model (LLM) inference. Using the vLLM framework with the meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model, we ran tests on 1, 2, 4, and 8 GPUs. We analyzed…

LLM Quantization: BF16 vs FP8 vs INT4

We benchmarked Qwen3-32B at 4 precision levels (BF16, FP8, GPTQ-Int8, GPTQ-Int4) on a single NVIDIA H100 80GB GPU. Each configuration was evaluated on 2 benchmarks (~12.2K questions) covering knowledge and code generation, plus 2,000+ inference runs to measure throughput. Int4 is 2.7x faster than BF16 while losing less than 2 points on MMLU-Pro, but code…
