The blood brain barrier around the brain makes sure that some molecules cannot enter the brain to avoid damage to brain tissues, which have very low turnover.

We consider these aspects of our problem:

• Latency : How fast does the system need to respond to user input?


• Task Complexity : What level of understanding is required from the LLM? Is the input context and prompt super domain-specific?


• Prompt Length : How much context needs to be provided for the LLM to do its task?


• Quality : What is the acceptable
