The optimization eliminates redundant environment variable lookups by making two key changes:
1. **Caches `os.environ.get` as `_getenv`** - This avoids repeated attribute lookups on the `os` module during function calls, providing a small but measurable speedup.
2. **Eliminates duplicate environment variable access** - The original code calls `os.environ.get("TOGETHER_API_KEY")` twice: once in the condition check and again in the return statement. The optimized version calls it once, stores the result in `env_api_key`, then reuses that value.
The line profiler shows the impact: the original code spent 86.3% of its time on the two environment variable lookups (46.6% + 39.7%), while the optimized version consolidates this into a single 70.2% operation. This reduces the total runtime by 58%, from 1.11ms to 702μs.
The optimization is particularly effective for test cases that fall back to the environment variable (when `api_key` is falsey), showing 31-76% speedups in the annotated tests. Cases where a valid `api_key` is provided show minimal impact since they bypass environment variable access entirely. The improvement scales well with repeated calls, as seen in the large-scale tests where the environment variable path is taken frequently.
