Definition
The speed and efficiency of LLM and agent workflow execution.
Explanation
Latency measures how long a model or agent workflow takes to produce results. Performance depends on model size, hardware, retrieval time, tool-call delays, and orchestration overhead. Enterprise-grade systems require sub-second or low-second performance, especially for customer-facing scenarios. Optimization often involves model routing, caching, async tool calls, batching, and smaller specialist models.
Technical Architecture
Task → Model Router → Optimized Model / Cache Layer → Output
Core Component
GPU inference, batching, caching, routing, async tools
Use Cases
Enterprise copilots, chatbots, live agents, real-time analytics
Pitfalls
Slow retrieval, large models, too many agent steps, synchronous calls
LLM Keywords
