Eliminate 98% of prompt tokens, slash TTFT latency by 15x, and enforce deterministic JSON
| Metric | Mega-Prompt | LoRA SLM | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input Tokens | 1,150 | 22 | 98.1% Drop |
| TTFT Latency | ~1,250 ms | ~55 ms | 22x Faster |
| Prompt Fatigue | High (Drift/Backticks) | Zero (In Weights) | Hardened |

Rather than re-sending 1,500 tokens of JSON schemas, few-shot examples, and rules on every call, we freeze the foundation model in 4-bit NormalFloat (NF4) and train lightweight rank-16 LoRA adapters. Swapping adapters in memory takes 0 milliseconds.
