Description
Search before asking
- I have searched the Inference issues and found no similar feature requests.
Description
Majority of blocks will be running some computations that do not fit into asycio processing.
We have it only due to compatibility with model manager abstraction from inference.
That state creates lots of issues - for instance, while video processing, in threading environment Active Learning data collection was not working due to asyncio background tasks starvation.

Research direction
Start by mapping where asyncio is used across workflows and the affected parts of inference, then reproduce the reported threaded video-processing case. Review the model manager compatibility boundary and the Active Learning background-task behavior. Done means the unnecessary asyncio dependency is removed without breaking computation or Active Learning collection.
