When companies build their first AI solutions, they pour resources into making models more sophisticated without addressing the choke point that caps performance. Product teams often make this same error by missing where the constraint lies, which might be in their data pipeline struggling to keep up with GPU cycles, or in preprocessing that takes longer than inference, rather than in model architecture.
