<p dir="auto">Cold loading and conversation latency are different product moments.</p>
<p dir="auto">Lizard can preload the selected native model during onboarding or Chat warmup. The model becomes resident before the first real prompt, while the interface reports load state rather than presenting a long silent wait as generation.</p>
<p dir="auto">Separating readiness from response time makes both the product and the benchmark easier to understand.</p>
<p dir="auto">Where in your workflow should model warmup happen?</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Engineering fact:</strong> Lizard onboarding and Chat can preload the selected native model so the first user message does not have to absorb the entire cold model-load cost.</p>
