Could you clarify what you mean by “LLM API latency”?
I can help with any of these:
- What affects latency for LLM APIs
- How to measure latency correctly
- Typical latency ranges for chat/completion APIs
- Ways to reduce latency
- Comparing providers/models on latency
- Debugging slow responses in your app
If you want, I can also give you a quick checklist like:
- Network latency
- Queueing / load on the provider
- Model size / inference time
- Prompt and output length
- Streaming vs non-streaming
- Cold starts / caching
If you have a specific API or scenario, tell me:
- provider/model
- region
- prompt size
- whether you stream tokens
- your measured timings
and I’ll help you analyze it.
