Abstract

Conventional fairness in multi-tenant Large Language Model (LLM) inference services is typically defined by system-centric metrics such as equitable resource allocation.

We challenge this notion by introducing and formalizing Experiential Fairness, a user-centric paradigm that shifts the objective from equality of opportunity (resource access) to equity of outcome (user experience). With this motivation we propose ExFairS, a lightweight scheduling framework that perceives each user
