# LatencyZero - Adaptive Anticipatory Approximation (A³)

**Cut API latency by 50-90% with predictive approximation and guaranteed correctness.**

## 🚀 What is LatencyZero?

LatencyZero is a drop-in middleware that sits in front of expensive APIs, databases, or AI models and delivers instant responses through intelligent approximation.

### Key Features

- ⚡ **50-90% latency reduction** - Most queries return in <10ms
- 🎯 **Guaranteed correctness** - Confidence-based fallback ensures accuracy
- 🔧 **Drop-in integration** - Single decorator, no infrastructure changes
- 📊 **Real-time analytics** - Full observability into performance gains
- 🔄 **Progressive refinement** - Return fast, improve in background

## 📦 Installation

### 1. Install the SDK

```bash
pip install latencyzero
```

Or install from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/latencyzero/latencyzero
cd latencyzero
pip install -e .
```

### 2. Start the Gateway Service

```bash
# Install gateway dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Start the gateway
cd gateway
python server.py
```

The gateway will start on `http://localhost:8080`

### 3. (Optional) Start Redis

For production use, connect Redis for persistent storage:

```bash
# Using Docker
docker run -d -p 6379:6379 redis:latest

# Or install locally
brew install redis  # macOS
sudo apt-get install redis  # Ubuntu
```

## 🎯 Quick Start

```python
from latencyzero import a3

# Just add the decorator to any expensive function
@a3(tolerance=0.02)
def expensive_api_call(input_data):
    # Your expensive computation here
    return model.run(input_data)

# First call: ~2000ms (exact computation)
result = expensive_api_call("user query")

# Second call: ~10ms (approximation) ⚡
result = expensive_api_call("user query")
```

**That's it!** No infrastructure changes, no refactoring, no lock-in.

## 📚 Usage Examples

### Example 1: OpenAI API Acceleration

```python
from latencyzero import a3
import openai

@a3(tolerance=0.02)
def call_openai(prompt):
    response = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
        model="gpt-4",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    )
    return response.choices[0].message.content

# First call: ~2000ms
answer = call_openai("What is Python?")

# Repeated call: ~10ms ⚡
answer = call_openai("What is Python?")
```

### Example 2: Database Query Acceleration

```python
@a3(tolerance=0.05)
def get_user_analytics(user_id):
    # Expensive database aggregation
    return db.execute("""
        SELECT user_id, 
               COUNT(*) as total_orders,
               SUM(amount) as total_revenue,
               AVG(rating) as avg_rating
        FROM orders
        WHERE user_id = ?
        GROUP BY user_id
    """, user_id)

# First call: ~500ms
stats = get_user_analytics("user_123")

# Repeated call: ~5ms ⚡
stats = get_user_analytics("user_123")
```

### Example 3: ML Model Inference

```python
@a3(tolerance=0.01)  # Stricter tolerance for ML
def predict_sentiment(text):
    # Expensive ML model inference
    inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
    outputs = model(**inputs)
    return torch.softmax(outputs.logits, dim=1).tolist()

# First call: ~800ms
sentiment = predict_sentiment("This product is amazing!")

# Repeated call: ~8ms ⚡
sentiment = predict_sentiment("This product is amazing!")
```

## 🔧 Configuration

### Configure the SDK

```python
from latencyzero import configure

configure(
    gateway_url="http://localhost:8080",
    api_key="your_api_key",  # Optional
    timeout=0.1,  # 100ms timeout for approximation
    enable_metrics=True
)
```

### Environment Variables

```bash
export LATENCYZERO_GATEWAY_URL="http://localhost:8080"
export LATENCYZERO_API_KEY="your_api_key"
export LATENCYZERO_TIMEOUT="0.1"
```

### Decorator Options

```python
@a3(
    tolerance=0.02,           # Max error rate (2%)
    enable_refinement=True,   # Background refinement
    fallback_on_error=True    # Safe fallback on errors
)
def my_function(input):
    ...
```

## 📊 Monitoring & Statistics

```python
# Get statistics for a decorated function
stats = expensive_api_call.get_stats()

print(f"Total requests: {stats['total_requests']}")
print(f"Cache hits: {stats['cache_hits']}")
print(f"Hit rate: {stats['hit_rate']*100:.1f}%")
print(f"Latency improvement: {stats['latency_improvement']:.1f}%")

# Temporarily disable A³ for a function
expensive_api_call.disable()

# Re-enable
expensive_api_call.enable()
```

```

## ⚙️ How It Works

1. **First Call (Exact)**
   - Query arrives at gateway
   - No approximation available
   - Execute exact computation
   - Store result for future use
   - Return to caller (~2000ms)

2. **Subsequent Calls (Approximate)**
   - Query arrives at gateway
   - Check approximation store
   - Evaluate confidence score
   - If confidence > threshold: return cached result (~10ms) ⚡
   - If confidence < threshold: execute exact computation
   - Background worker refines result

3. **Confidence Evaluation**
   - Age of cached result (fresher = higher confidence)
   - Hit count (more hits = higher confidence)
   - Historical accuracy (track per function)
   - Execution time variance (stable = higher confidence)
