Most vector search slows down as you scale from millions to billions to trillions of vectors - latency creeps up. Native vector search in Amazon DynamoDB is different: single-digit ms latency with 99%+ recall, at any scale. Now GA.

Every day more of the financial world is moving onchain, demanding high speeds at an increasingly large scale. So how can we speed up blockchains while retaining the decentralization that makes them such valuable venues for economic activity? Our CEO Muriel Medard is back at her whiteboard to demonstrate. ⬇️

🚨 This is Warzone on the highest fps/ lowest latency settings 🚨 It is really hard to lose a straight up gunfight when you are on this low of latency. Feels similar to the "host advantage" we all used to want back in the console days.

Sundar Pichai explains Google Search latency budgets: "I’ve always internalized speed as one of the distinguishing features of a great product. It almost always reflects the technical underpinnings of the product having been done well. It's easy to say you want low latency, but you're constantly adding capabilities. The capability frontier is progressing. That's where it gets more complicated. But to give an example, Search they now have latency budgets, in the milliseconds. If you ship something which shaves off three milliseconds, you earn 1.5 milliseconds for your latency budget, and 1.5 milliseconds gets passed onto the user. Depending on what we think you're doing, some people may get a latency budget of 30 milliseconds or 10 milliseconds. That's how much we think it matters." Sundar Pichai Elad Gil John Collison

The value of the work we're doing at Optimum is encapsulated quite well by the phrase "speed is money". In modern markets there are real economic advantages to latency reduction. This is nothing new. Wall Street firms have long been optimizing on latency, primarily through colocation and top of the line hardware. However, when it comes to decentralized systems, expensive hardware and geographic concentration are antithetical to their purpose. Therefore we should optimize decentralized network latency through software, which I'm thrilled about because it's exactly what I've spent the better part of the past 2 decades working on with Random Linear Network Coding. Now let’s talk about networking economics, the relationship between speed and money. First, it's important to note that users will only pay for low latency if it can be consistently guaranteed. Second, you can only make that latency guarantee for a certain number of users. This is a universal law of networking. We can model this relationship on a delay curve, shown below. The delay curve is determined by the utilization rate of the network, meaning how much traffic is flowing through the network divided by the network's throughput. As you approach a level of traffic equal to the available throughput, latency trends infinitely higher. On this delay curve we can impose some utility thresholds. These thresholds are the levels of latency which are important to different groups of users because of how that latency guarantee improves their economic outcomes. Finding the point on the curve where each threshold intersects will tell us what level of traffic we can guarantee that level of latency for. Essentially, there exists a finite supply of speed on a network and the highest utility users of that speed are willing to pay more for it. I like to think of this similarly to expedited shipping options on Amazon. This is why we say speed is money, and why we can create a Latency Marketplace. The only way to increase the supply of speed is to fundamentally increase network throughput. This is what we work on at Optimum by using Random Linear Network Coding. The same relationship between traffic and throughput still applies, but now the delay curve is shifted out further to the right. Now more traffic can be processed at the same latency, or the same traffic can be processed at a lower latency. More speed available to the network. More value unlocked for the network’s users. Crucially, that value is no longer only reserved for those who can afford to sit closest to the machine. Expanding the supply of speed widens who can reach each latency threshold, keeping the network's advantage decentralized rather than concentrated in the hands of a few. When nodes join Optimum and participate, they reap the benefits, but they also add to the capacity. Rather than vying against each other in a zero-sum game, nodes help themselves and others.

Defi agents have a massive latency problem. To operate effectively on lending protocols and dexs, agents need both high-performance execution and a native onchain presence. Somnia is almost ready to put the solution in front of traders and builders.

$TESTED: Windows 11's upcoming "Low Latency Profile" mode brings genuine performance improvements to the OS, speeding up flyout and app launches significantly. We've benchmarked opening some apps on video with the Low Latency Profile enabled and disabled, and you can see differences in how quickly things appear. For some things, it's a fraction of a second faster, for others, it's a significant increase in speed. In our testing, this new Low Latency Profile is a major improvement in overall responsiveness when it comes to opening apps and flyouts. Our tests were conducted on a clean install of the latest Windows 11 preview build on the same hardware.$
