Inference speed is becoming a model benchmark of its own! For a long time, most model comparisons focused on intelligence, context length, and price. But as more workloads become agentic and iterative, generation speed starts to matter a lot more. A coding agent, research agent, or RL rollout may make many sequential model calls, so reducing the time for each generation can change the wall-clock time of the entire workflow. That is why we are starting to see more teams push inference speed much harder. Looking across the models in this chart, what stands out to me is how differently teams
