Hi! I am creating a chatbot with assistant and I am seeing that there is a lot of delay, it can take up to half a minute to respond, but if I try in the playground it is instantaneous, how do I achieve that speed? I decreased prompt and jsons of the function calling and it still doesn’t improve considerably, thanks! 😄 **LOG : OPENAI duration 15.668 seconds.** ---
