I don't understand why more people don't talk about how fast the models are. I see so much obsession with bechmark scores but speed of response is very important for day to day use.

I agree that the models from OpenAI and Google have much slower responses than the models from Anthropic. That makes a lot of them not practical for me.

If the prompt runs twice as fast but it takes an extra correction, it’s a worse output. I’d take 5 minute responses that are final.

I don’t agree that speed by itself is a big factor. It may target a certain audience but I don’t mind waiting for a correct output rather than too many turns with a faster model.

Well, it depends on what you do. If a model can produce a PR that is ready to merge (and another can't), waiting 5 minutes is fine.
