Even One Second Slower Can Make the Experience Totally Different

When it comes to latency, this point really resonates with me. When we use voice assistants, if one pauses for two or three seconds before replying, you probably want to throw your phone. In business scenarios, speed is experience, and experience is money.

One important reason they insist on building in-house is to be “fast.” General commercial large models are powerful, but they are often too big and too heavy. If you have the capability yourself, you can use open-source models as the base, then distill and prune them with your own data to create a small model specialized for one specific job. It runs extremely fast and costs less.

It is like wanting a plate of scrambled eggs. There is no need to invite a three-star Michelin chef to your home with a full set of French dining equipment. A skilled home cook might make it faster and tastier. Control over your own tech stack lets you find the best balance between performance and cost. That is something that is hard to achieve by simply buying an API.
