4.2Optimizing Application Performance

Generation is inherently slow. Optimize UX by reducing perceived latency, increasing throughput, and tuning output quality via parameters.

4.2.1Levers to improve performance

• Lower latency: latency-optimized models, streaming, pre-computation for predictable queries, and parallel requests for complex workflows.
• Output parameters: tune temperature/top-k/top-p to requirements (low temperature for determinism, higher for diversity).
• Retrieval optimization: speed/accuracy of RAG via index optimization, query preprocessing, and custom-scored hybrid search.
• Throughput/scale: token-processing optimization, batch inference, concurrent-invocation management, and Auto Scaling for GenAI traffic.
