Problems / AI systems, easy
The semantic cache’s similarity threshold is so strict it hits 5% of the time. Nearly every question reaches the model.
Free to open. Runs in your browser, no sign-up.
Success ≥ 99%, time to first token p99 ≤ 1.5 s.
50 requests a second for 30 seconds: 100% question (reads).
What each component does in this design, and what calls it. The simulator mimics each one from these settings.
| Component | Its job here | Settings |
|---|---|---|
| Load balancerLoad balancer | Traffic enters here.Calls AI gateway.Layer 4 balancers route by IP and port; layer 7 balancers read HTTP and can route by path or header. | – |
| AI gatewayApp service | Load balancer forwards to it.Calls Semantic cache (checked first), Embedding model, Vector DB, LLM endpoint.Little's law: throughput ≈ concurrency ÷ latency. 200 slots at 50 ms serve about 4,000 req/s. | 3 replicas × 200 slots · timeout 30 s |
| Semantic cacheSemantic cache | AI gateway checks it first.A semantic cache matches questions by meaning using embeddings, not exact text. | 5% hit rate |
| Embedding modelEmbedding model | AI gateway calls it.Embeddings turn text into vectors where similar meanings sit close together. | – |
| Vector DBVector DB | AI gateway calls it.Approximate indexes like HNSW trade a little recall for much faster search. | – |
| LLM endpointLLM endpoint | AI gateway calls it.Latency has two parts: time to the first token, then a steady stream of tokens per second. | 300 streams · 6M input tokens/min |
Try it first. Open one hint at a time if you get stuck.
Check the cache’s hit rate.
Many questions are near-duplicates.
Raise the semantic cache hit rate (loosen the threshold).
