EDGE OSDEFINITION
The time taken by an AI model to produce the first token in a response is called Time to First Token (TTFT). This is an important metric when assessing the performance of large language models (LLMs).
Lower TTFT means that the start of a response from the AI will be quicker to receive. TTFT is important to consider when using your AI in applications requiring real-time responses such as chatbots, coding assistants, virtual agents or enterprise AI.
Why is Time to First Token (TTFT) Important?
- Determines how fast your AI begins responding
- Improves the user experience for conversational AI applications
- Helps to assess the performance of LLMs
- Allows you to compare different models and deployments
Where can Time to First Token (TTFT) be used?
- Chatbot response times
- Assessing enterprise AI assistants
- Optimizing LLM inference
- Compare performance of AI models across clouds and private
