How would you reduce TTFT for a system serving 10k conc...

Reducing Time To First Token (TTFT) requires addressing two distinct root causes. If long prompts are slowing down prefill, use disaggregated prefill workers or prompt compression to speed up the initial processing. If large queue depths are slowing down dispatch, increase the number of replicas or implement better scheduling priority for new arrivals to ensure they are processed promptly.
