Dealing with Instructor + Anthropic/Bedrock Latency in Production Applications

[psharma28]

Addressing Instructor + Anthropic/Bedrock Latency Issues

Current Situation

I'm experiencing significant latency issues with Instructor when using it with Anthropic through Amazon Bedrock:

• Response Times: 50-60 seconds
• Setup: Using Instructor for structured outputs with Pydantic models

Key Questions

1. Direct Bedrock API vs Instructor

• Is Instructor's additional processing causing noticeable overhead?

2. Performance Optimization Options

Bedrock's Invoke API offers performance configuration:

"performanceConfig": {
    "latency": "standard | optimized"
}

• How can we leverage this with Instructor?

3. Production Solutions

• How are you handling latency in production chat applications?
• What strategies have worked for response time optimization?

Current Implementation

anthropic_client = instructor.create(
    model = Claude_model,
    response_model=MyPydanticModel
)

Seeking Input On

• Best practices for reducing latency
• Real-world production experiences
• Alternative approaches

Would appreciate insights from those who've solved similar challenges in production environments.
