⚡️ Speed up method UniversalBaseModel.json by 8%

[codeflash-ai]

📄 8% (0.08x) speedup for UniversalBaseModel.json in src/deepgram/core/pydantic_utilities.py

⏱️ Runtime : 3.62 milliseconds → 3.35 milliseconds (best of 53 runs)

📝 Explanation and details

The optimization achieves a 7% speedup through two key improvements:

1. Module-level caching of IS_PYDANTIC_V2: The original code referenced an undefined IS_PYDANTIC_V2 variable, which likely caused runtime lookups or errors. The optimized version computes pydantic.VERSION.startswith("2.") once at module import time, eliminating repeated version checks.

2. Conditional dictionary creation: The original code always performed dictionary merging with **kwargs, even when kwargs was empty. The optimization adds a branch to handle empty kwargs separately:

• When kwargs is empty (most common case): Creates a simple dict literal {"by_alias": True, "exclude_unset": True}
• When kwargs has values: Uses dict(by_alias=True, exclude_unset=True, **kwargs) for proper merging

From the line profiler, we see the dict creation overhead reduced from 4 lines of execution (88+44+44+44 hits = 220 total) to a more efficient 2-branch approach (44+36+8 = 88 total hits). The optimization is particularly effective when kwargs is empty, which appears to be the common case based on the test showing 36 hits for the empty branch vs 8 for the non-empty branch.

This optimization works best for frequent calls to json() without additional parameters, which is typical for serialization-heavy workloads.
