[cost\_intel] Invoking reasoning models in blocking UI rendering pipelines
Use GPT-4o for initial render \(<2s TTLB\), offload o1 to background for optimization suggestions; implement streaming for progressive enhancement
Journey Context:
o1 reasoning takes 15-60s for complex layout logic; user abandonment increases 40% after 3s blocking time; async pattern preserves UX while capturing reasoning benefits. Synchronous o1 calls create a latency cliff that kills conversion regardless of output quality.
