Stop Calling Your LLM Once - Split the Call
📰 Hackernoon
Improve LLM app performance by splitting the call into planning and parallel expansion, resulting in faster time-to-first-byte and real parallelism
Action Steps
- Split the LLM call into a planning call and parallel per-item expansion using API requests
- Configure the planning call to handle initial processing and task allocation
- Implement parallel expansion for each item using multi-threading or async requests
- Test the split call approach to measure performance improvements and bug isolation
- Compare the results with the traditional single-call approach to evaluate the benefits

Most LLM apps fire one giant prompt and pray. The ones that feel fast in production split the work into a planning call plus parallel per-item expansion. You get three wins for free: a much faster time-to-first-byte, real parallelism, and bug isolation when something breaks. The cost is one extra request. The math almost always favors the split.
