Use these insights to optimize pranaam usage for your specific use case.
Key Takeaways¶
🚀 Cold Start Cost: Initial model loading takes 3-5 seconds but only happens once per language
⚡ Batch Efficiency: Processing 100+ names together is 10-50x faster than individual predictions
💾 Smart Caching: Models stay loaded between predictions, dramatically improving subsequent performance
🔄 Language Switching: Each language requires model reload - group by language for efficiency
📊 Optimal Batching: Sweet spot is 50-100 names per batch for most use cases
🧠 Memory Management: Each model uses ~500MB RAM, plan accordingly for concurrent usage
Performance Optimization Checklist¶
✅ Group operations by language to minimize model switching
✅ Use batch processing for any dataset with 5+ names
✅ Choose appropriate chunk sizes (1K-5K) for large datasets
✅ Keep models warm in production environments
✅ Monitor memory usage when processing large volumes
✅ Cache frequent predictions to avoid redundant processing
