Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your AI model's running slow, users tapping fingers cold
Million requests per minute, servers buckling from the load
Time to shrink those hefty weights, quantization holds the key
Thirty-two bits down to eight, speed without complexity

[Chorus]
Cache it, batch it, quantize the math
API or self-host, choose your path
Milliseconds matter when the traffic grows
Optimize the pipeline, watch performance glow
Speed and cost together, find the balance sweet
Make your AI lightning fast and lean

[Verse 2]
Batching groups your queries tight, parallel processing might
Handle twenty in one shot instead of twenty separate fights
Caching stores repeated calls, Redis keeping answers near
Skip the computation walls when the same request appears

[Chorus]
Cache it, batch it, quantize the math
API or self-host, choose your path
Milliseconds matter when the traffic grows
Optimize the pipeline, watch performance glow
Speed and cost together, find the balance sweet
Make your AI lightning fast and lean

[Bridge]
OpenAI or run your own, trade-offs weigh like stone
APIs scale without the pain but costs can break your zone
Self-hosting gives control but hardware bills unfold
GPU clusters burning gold, infrastructure bold

[Verse 3]
Quantization takes your weights from floating point precise
Down to integers that slice through calculations twice as nice
Eight-bit math runs blazing fast, accuracy stays intact
Inference optimized at last, performance is a fact

[Chorus]
Cache it, batch it, quantize the math
API or self-host, choose your path
Milliseconds matter when the traffic grows
Optimize the pipeline, watch performance glow
Speed and cost together, find the balance sweet
Make your AI lightning fast and lean

[Outro]
Measure twice and optimize once
Balance speed with what it costs
Every millisecond counts
When your AI system mounts
