How we made claude.ai 3x faster in two weeks

Claude.ai, a conversational AI platform, was optimized to be 3x faster in just two weeks through a series of improvements, including rewriting the codebase, optimizing database schema, and reducing the number of API calls. The optimization process involved rewriting the code in Rust, which led to a significant performance boost. Additionally, the team optimized the database schema, reduced the number of API calls, and improved caching. The result was a 3x increase in speed, from 350ms to 100ms.
