Your question is LLM Pipeline Latency Bottlenecks. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
What are the most significant latency bottlenecks when building systems around LLM pipelines, and how do you mitigate them?
Focus on an Anthropic-style Claude-powered workflow that may include retrieval, tool use, prompt assembly, model calls, and post-processing. Explain how you would identify the bottlenecks, set latency budgets, and reduce tail latency without breaking quality or safety.
