What you'll learn
Measure RAG & Agent Performance Effectively
Students will learn to distinguish between TTFT, TPS, and step latency to benchmark AI systems.
Identify Latency Bottlenecks in AI Pipelines
Students will learn to diagnose slowdown points in RAG workflows and multi-step agents.
Apply Practical Optimization Techniques
Students will master stack-agnostic strategies to reduce response times while maintaining high-quality AI outputs.
Why this topic matters
Latency is the silent killer of AI adoption. Users abandon systems that make them wait, regardless of accuracy. By mastering performance optimization, you'll deliver solutions people actually use, overcome the primary barrier to production AI success, and develop a professional edge that distinguishes you in a market fixated on capability rather than usability.
