Superhuman CTO details AI latency strategies for 100ms response

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Superhuman's CTO, Loïc Houssier, detailed strategies for integrating AI features into a strict 100-millisecond latency budget, crucial for maintaining a responsive user experience. The approach involves pre-fetching and caching context, such as user writing style and thread history, to minimize real-time processing. Initially, expensive, capable frontier models are used to prove a feature's utility, with a plan to transition successful features to smaller, specialized models for efficiency. This method was applied to features like voice drafting and auto-labeling to ensure they feel seamless within the product. AI

    Ship AI features inside a hard latency budget

    <p>Superhuman's full drafting call will not finish inside a 100 millisecond interaction budget. That budget is the immediate UI response, and completed generation is separate. Prefetch context that does not depend on this turn, such as how this person writes to this recipient and…
