Fastly helps developers build a better internet with new AI Accelerator
Fastly has launched Fastly AI Accelerator , the company ’ s first AI solution designed to improve performance and reduce costs across the use of similar prompts for LLM apps .
AI Accelerator is designed to reduce API calls and costs with intelligent , semantic caching . Built on Fastly ’ s Edge Cloud Platform and leveraging industry leading caching technology , it uses a specialised API gateway to improve performance for apps using popular LLMs .
When using Fastly AI Accelerator , developers only need to update their app to use a new API endpoint , which typically only requires changing a single line of code . Fastly AI Accelerator will then transparently implement semantic caching for OpenAI compatible APIs . This approach goes beyond traditional caching as Fastly AI Accelerator can understand the context of the requests and queries and will send a similar response if two or more requests are alike .
Anil Dash , Vice President of Developer Experience , Fastly , said : “ Fastly AI Accelerator gives developers exactly what they want , by making the experience of their favourite LLMs a lot faster and more efficient , so they can focus on what makes their app or site unique – and what keeps their users happy .”
Stephen O ’ Grady , Principal Analyst , RedMonk , said : “ Developers and enterprises alike are turning in large numbers to medium and smaller models . Whether it ’ s to lower costs , to shorten training cycles or to run on more limited hardware profiles , they ’ re an increasingly important option .”
