💡 What: Added torch.quantization.quantize_dynamic to the linear layers of the DistilBERT sentiment analysis pipeline in llm_service.py.

🎯 Why: Model inference on CPU is a significant bottleneck. 8-bit dynamic quantization is a low-risk, high-impact optimization that specifically targets linear layers in Transformer models for faster CPU execution.

📊 Impact:

  • Latency Reduction: ~48% improvement (from ~90.5ms to ~46.7ms per uncached request).
  • Efficiency: Lower memory usage and CPU cycles per inference.

🔬 Measurement: Verified using a local benchmark script comparing average latency over 20 iterations after model warm-up. Functional integrity confirmed by running pytest test_main.py.

Note: Logged this optimization in .jules/bolt.md for future reference.

This change applies 8-bit dynamic quantization to the DistilBERT model
used for sentiment analysis in `llm_service.py`.

- Reduces CPU inference latency by ~48% (90.5ms -> 46.7ms).
- Minimizes memory footprint for the LLM service.
- Maintains functional correctness as verified by unit tests.
- Uses lazy loading to avoid overhead during application startup.
