A developer has created a Python script to accurately measure the latency of LLM endpoints, distinguishing between the time to the first token (TTFT) and the total response time. This tool is designed to address the unreliability of simple latency timers when dealing with streaming models, where initial responses can be fast but overall completion slow. The script, named `ttfbt.py`, can be used with any OpenAI-compatible API endpoint and requires minimal setup, including Python and the `requests` library. AI
IMPACT Enables developers to better assess and compare the performance of various LLM endpoints.
RANK_REASON Developer-created utility script for measuring LLM endpoint performance.
