LingBot-VA 2.0 Boosts Inference Speed by 6.5x
rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-07-14
The author further detailed the efficiency improvements in LingBot-VA 2.0:
- Through distillation, inference per chunk is compressed down to 2 function evaluations.
- Combined with engineering optimizations like FP8 TensorRT, paged/ragged KV cache, and FlashInfer attention, latency was reduced from 927 ms to 142 ms, yielding roughly a 6.5x speedup per chunk.
- The reported execution frequency increased from 35 Hz to a peak asynchronous rate of 225 Hz.
