> These optimizations cut latency from above a second to 300ms on Praktika's transcription workload, vs 1,000-1,500ms before.

- **50%**: “50% cost savings”
- **7**: “Praktika recently launched 7 new languages.”

> We are very satisfied with the latency we achieved. The user experience feels so much faster. It's so fast we actually don't need as many replicas which helps keep costs down.
