# Speed Testing Framework for MaverickMCP Research Agents This document describes the comprehensive speed testing framework developed to validate and monitor the speed optimizations implemented in the MaverickMCP research system. ## Overview The speed testing framework validates the following optimization claims: - **2-3x speed improvements** over baseline performance - **Sub-30s completion times** for emergency scenarios - **Resolution of timeout issues** (previously 138s, 129s failures) - **Intelligent model selection** for time-critical scenarios - **Adaptive optimization** based on query complexity and time constraints ## Framework Components ### 1. Speed Optimization Validation Tests (`tests/test_speed_optimization_validation.py`) Comprehensive pytest-based test suite that validates: #### Core Components Tested - **Adaptive Model Selection**: Verifies fastest models are chosen for emergency scenarios - **Progressive Token Budgeting**: Tests time-aware token allocation - **Parallel LLM Processing**: Validates batch processing optimizations - **Confidence Tracking**: Tests early termination logic - **Content Filtering**: Validates intelligent source prioritization #### Query Complexity Levels - **Simple**: Basic queries (target: <15s completion) - **Moderate**: Standard analysis queries (target: <25s completion) - **Complex**: Comprehensive research queries (target: <35s completion) - **Emergency**: Time-critical queries (target: <30s completion) #### Expected Model Selections ```python EXPECTED_MODEL_SELECTIONS = { QueryComplexity.EMERGENCY: ["google/gemini-2.5-flash", "openai/gpt-4o-mini"], QueryComplexity.SIMPLE: ["google/gemini-2.5-flash", "openai/gpt-4o-mini"], QueryComplexity.MODERATE: ["openai/gpt-4o-mini", "google/gemini-2.5-flash"], QueryComplexity.COMPLEX: ["anthropic/claude-sonnet-4", "google/gemini-2.5-pro"], } ``` #### Model Speed Benchmarks ```python MODEL_SPEED_BENCHMARKS = { "google/gemini-2.5-flash": 199, # tokens/second - FASTEST "openai/gpt-4o-mini": 126, # tokens/second - FAST "anthropic/claude-haiku": 89, # tokens/second - MODERATE "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4": 45, # tokens/second - COMPREHENSIVE "google/gemini-2.5-pro": 25, # tokens/second - DEEP } ``` ### 2. Speed Benchmarking Script (`scripts/speed_benchmark.py`) Command-line tool for running various speed benchmarks: #### Benchmark Modes ```bash # Quick validation for CI pipeline python scripts/speed_benchmark.py --mode quick # Comprehensive benchmark suite python scripts/speed_benchmark.py --mode full # Emergency mode focused testing python scripts/speed_benchmark.py --mode emergency # Before/after performance comparison python scripts/speed_benchmark.py --mode comparison # Custom query testing python scripts/speed_benchmark.py --query "Apple Inc analysis" ``` #### Output Formats - **JSON**: Structured benchmark data for analysis - **Markdown**: Human-readable reports with recommendations ### 3. Quick Speed Demo (`scripts/quick_speed_demo.py`) Standalone demonstration script that shows: - Adaptive model selection in action - Progressive token budgeting scaling - Complexity-based optimizations - Speed improvement claims validation - Timeout resolution demonstration ## Integration with Development Workflow ### Makefile Integration ```bash # Speed testing commands make test-speed # Run all speed optimization tests make test-speed-quick # Quick CI validation make test-speed-emergency # Emergency mode tests make test-speed-comparison # Before/after comparison # Benchmarking commands make benchmark-speed # Comprehensive speed benchmark ``` ### Continuous Integration The framework supports CI integration through: - **Quick validation mode**: Completes in <2 minutes for CI pipelines - **Exit codes**: Non-zero exit for failed performance thresholds - **Structured output**: Machine-readable results for automation ## Performance Thresholds ### Speed Thresholds ```python SPEED_THRESHOLDS = { "simple_query_max_time": 15.0, # Simple queries: <15s "moderate_query_max_time": 25.0, # Moderate queries: <25s "complex_query_max_time": 35.0, # Complex queries: <35s "emergency_mode_max_time": 30.0, # Emergency mode: <30s "minimum_speedup_factor": 2.0, # Minimum 2x speedup "target_speedup_factor": 3.0, # Target 3x speedup "timeout_failure_threshold": 0.05, # Max 5% timeout failures } ``` ### Model Selection Validation - **Emergency scenarios**: Must select models with 126+ tokens/second - **Time budgets <30s**: Automatically use fastest available models - **Complex analysis**: Can use slower, higher-quality models when time allows ## Testing Scenarios ### 1. Emergency Mode Performance Tests that urgent queries complete within strict time budgets: ```python # Test emergency completion under 30s result = await validator.test_emergency_mode_performance( "Quick Apple sentiment - bullish or bearish right now?" ) assert result["execution_time"] < 30.0 assert result["within_budget"] == True ``` ### 2. Adaptive Model Selection Validates appropriate model selection based on time constraints: ```python # Emergency scenario should select fastest model config = selector.select_model_for_time_budget( task_type=TaskType.QUICK_ANSWER, time_remaining_seconds=10.0, complexity_score=0.3, content_size_tokens=200, ) assert config.model_id in ["google/gemini-2.5-flash", "openai/gpt-4o-mini"] ``` ### 3. Baseline vs Optimized Comparison Compares performance improvements over baseline: ```python # Test 2-3x speedup achievement result = await validator.test_baseline_vs_optimized_performance( "Apple Inc comprehensive analysis", QueryComplexity.MODERATE ) assert result["speedup_factor"] >= 2.0 # Minimum 2x improvement ``` ### 4. Timeout Resolution Validates that previous timeout issues are resolved: ```python # Test scenarios that previously failed with 138s/129s timeouts test_cases = ["Apple analysis", "Tesla outlook", "Microsoft assessment"] for query in test_cases: result = await test_emergency_performance(query) assert result["execution_time"] < 30.0 # No more long timeouts ``` ## Real-World Query Examples ### Simple Queries (Target: <15s) - "Apple Inc current stock price and basic sentiment" - "Tesla recent news and market overview" - "Microsoft quarterly earnings summary" ### Moderate Queries (Target: <25s) - "Apple Inc comprehensive financial analysis and competitive position" - "Tesla Inc market outlook considering EV competition and regulatory changes" - "Microsoft Corp cloud business growth prospects and AI strategy" ### Complex Queries (Target: <35s) - "Apple Inc deep fundamental analysis including supply chain risks, product lifecycle assessment, regulatory challenges across global markets, competitive positioning, and 5-year growth trajectory" ### Emergency Queries (Target: <30s) - "Quick Apple sentiment - bullish or bearish right now?" - "Tesla stock - buy, hold, or sell this week?" - "Microsoft earnings - beat or miss expectations?" ## Optimization Features Validated ### 1. Adaptive Model Selection - **Emergency Mode**: Selects Gemini 2.5 Flash (199 tok/s) or GPT-4o Mini (126 tok/s) - **Balanced Mode**: Cost-effective fast models for standard queries - **Comprehensive Mode**: High-quality models when time allows ### 2. Progressive Token Budgeting - **Emergency Budget**: Minimal tokens, tight timeouts - **Standard Budget**: Balanced token allocation - **Time-Aware Scaling**: Budgets scale with available time ### 3.
