Optimizing LLM Model Performance for Real-Time Applications

Short summary

Real-time LLMs require <200ms first-token and <50ms inter-token latency. Choose smaller models (32B-70B) with MoE architectures over large dense variants, and implement response streaming. Set strict latency budgets per use case and optimize end-to-end infrastructure.

• •Real-time latency targets: <200ms first-token, <50ms inter-token
• •Prefer smaller/MoE models (32B-70B) over large dense models for speed
• •Implement response streaming and measure end-to-end from client perspective
