> Our client libraries and API are now much faster at running models, particularly if a file is being returned.
... thanks?
just sharing my frustration as a developer. try to explain things a little better if you'd like it to stick/for us to become your advocates.
- bfirsh 2y agoYou're right -- this wasn't clear. Added another paragraph to explain what you had to do before.
- weird-eye-issue 2y agoI mean it literally explains why in the second paragraph. It returns the actual file data in the response rather than a URL where you have to make a second request to get the file data
- swyx 2y agothats not "making the image models much faster", thats just making getting the image back slightly faster
- popalchemist 2y agoThe "making the image models much faster" part is model optimizations that are also explained in the post.
- ErikBjare 2y agoWhere? I don't see any explanation of model optimizations in the linked post.
- weird-eye-issue 2y agoIn all practical senses it is the same thing
