Pattern A (Recommended)

Edge Cached AI Delivery

Caches deterministic structured JSON responses across global edge points of presence (PoPs), serving repetitive requests in under 180ms.

Key Technical Advantages:

  • Sub-180ms response times
  • Significant credit savings
  • Shields backend from traffic surges
  • Deterministic repeatability
Pattern B (Alternative / Legacy)

Origin LLM Streaming

Sends every query directly to upstream model foundation clusters, recalculating token probabilities from scratch every time.

Characteristics & Trade-Offs:

  • Live streaming token delivery
  • 100% dynamic response variability
  • Zero cache invalidation logic
