== GPU node requirements

In addition to the worker nodes listed above, this pattern requires at least 2 GPU-equipped nodes for model inference. On AWS, the pattern automatically provisions `g6e.2xlarge` instances with NVIDIA L40S GPUs. On other providers and bare metal, GPU nodes must already be part of the cluster before deploying the pattern.
