High Performance
Most native ChatGPT apps struggle to render real-time, markdown chat message.
I did a quick benchmark for a few popular AI chat apps such as MacGPT, Machato, Fly AI... and all of them reach 100% CPU real quick.
After 2 major rewrite, BoltAI lowers the CPU usage to below 30% during real-time live chat rendering.
You can test it yourself. Just ask the AI app to rewrite a long article.
Demo: 60 FPS on a long list
