LLM Performance Analysis for Code Completion

A developer is building a real-time code completion tool that suggests code as a user types. The tool's responsiveness and the smoothness of the generated text stream are critical for a good user experience. The developer has benchmarked two different language models and recorded the total time elapsed to generate the 1st, 10th, and 20th tokens for a sample completion.

Model X:

  • Total time to 1st token: 200 ms
  • Total time to 10th token: 650 ms
  • Total time to 20th token: 1100 ms

Model Y:

  • Total time to 1st token: 400 ms
  • Total time to 10th token: 580 ms
  • Total time to 20th token: 760 ms

Based on this data, which model is better suited for this application? Justify your answer by calculating and comparing the relevant performance metric for both models.
