UnverifiedEvery step of computer-use requires a complete cycle of screenshot, reasoning, and execution, causing significant latency accumulation.74% similarUnverifiedLow latency directly affects the usability of agent-type systems, because the latency at each step in a multi-step reasoning chain is amplified and accumulated.73% similarUnverifiedHigh throughput is achieved through batching, which increases the total number of tokens processed per unit of time but raises time-to-first-byte latency; low latency requires small batches or no batching, which reduces hardware utilization and raises the cost per token.71% similarUnverifiedIf the speedup mainly comes from reducing the number of visual tokens, the improvement in prefill latency is more significant, while the impact on decoding speed for long text generation is limited.70% similar
