Performance

Why Performance Matters​

When running AI on modest hardware, every millisecond and megabyte counts. Llumen is engineered from the ground up for efficiency.

Resource Requirements​

Minimum Specs​

These are the default requirements:

ComponentRequirement
CPU1 core, 1 GHz
RAM128MB available
Storage50MB
Network1 Mbps
note

Add more if you plan to store large file(generated image/video).

How Llumen optimize?​

  • Stream everything, we even write our serialization framework to send large file.
  • Paginate everything, we only fetch a small chunk of chatroom on large chatroom load.
  • Benchmark and configure everything, from sqlite buffer pool size to memory allocator.

Trade-offs​

Llumen makes deliberate trade-offs for performance:

What We Optimized For​

  • Fast startup
  • Low memory usage
  • Small binary size
  • Efficient streaming
  • Mobile performance

What We Don't Do​

  • Built-in model hosting
  • Heavy analytics
  • Complex plugins
  • Bloated features

This keeps llumen lean and fast for its core purpose.
