While I am skeptical of the results here, I am very excited for this new trend of making models faster. Running capable models at 1k TPS is more valuable for me than running better models at 30 TPS. I can only imagine the trend continues to move from "let's only make models smarter" to just incremental intelligence gains but with step improvements in speed.

Indeed. For me opus 4.8 is good enough. If only it would be 100 times faster. You could run it in self verification loops much much faster. It sometimes takes 15 minutes for me to complete a simple task. For example configuring AWS agentcore and deploying an agent on it. Takes forever with Claude with constant issues it tries to solve.

Why? I'm personally on the opposite end. Less babysitting/higher quality means more time goes back to me/the user. 1000tps of bad code means you have to keep validating the output and circling back.
