You hold the role of an ML engineer within a mobile gaming company. A fellow data scientist on your team has recently trained a TensorFlow model, and it falls upon you to integrate this model into a mobile application. However, you've encountered an issue where the current model's inference latency exceeds acceptable production standards. To rectify this, you aim to decrease the inference time by 50%, and you are open to a slight reduction in model accuracy to meet the latency requirement without initiating a new training process. In pursuit of this objective, what initial model optimization technique should you consider for latency reduction?
