My response times using the Assistants API is taking 20+ seconds for simple prompts like “test” or “hello.” Is there any way to speed this up? I’m trying to use it for an application and currently I don’t see how it would be useful with response times this slow.

How can I make my assistant responses faster?

Migrate off of Assistant API and use your own solution with Chat Completions.

You will be able to significantly reduce costs too.
