IMS开发启示

1. 部署决策矩阵

### OPT-02 模型部署决策

**决策维度：**
| 维度 | 权重 | 阈值 |
|------|------|------|
| 延迟要求 | 0.4 | ≤ 30ms |
| 精度要求 | 0.3 | ≥ 93% |
| 功耗预算 | 0.2 | ≤ 500mW |
| 模型尺寸 | 0.1 | ≤ 5MB |

**决策流程：**
1. 检查延迟 → 排除不满足模型
2. 检查精度 → 选择最高精度
3. 检查功耗 → 如超标则降级
4. 检查尺寸 → 确认可加载

2. 性能监控

总结

精度-延迟权衡的核心原则：

1. NPU优先：最优性能功耗比
2. INT8量化：4x压缩，精度损失可控
3. 帕累托最优：多目标权衡决策
4. 动态调整：根据场景复杂度优化
5. 级联推理：轻量+复杂模型组合
