Pick a workload, then slide the imagined speed from 100 to 1,000,000 tokens per second.
OUTPUT TOKENS1,000,0001,000 story endings × 1,000 tokens each
WRITING ONLY1 secondat 1,000,000 tokens/sec
At 1,000,000 tokens/sec, 1,000 story endings (1,000,000 output tokens) take about 1 second to write.
All four budgets at both ends of the dial
| Workload | Output tokens | 100 tokens/sec | 1,000,000 tokens/sec |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1,000 story endings × 1,000 | 1,000,000 | 2 h 46 min 40 s | 1 second |
| 40 app drafts × 20,000 | 800,000 | 2 h 13 min 20 s | 0.8 seconds |
| 10,000 critiqued candidates × 300 | 3,000,000 | 8 h 20 min | 3 seconds |
| 10,000 rehearsals × 1,000 | 10,000,000 | 27 h 46 min 40 s | 10 seconds |
Imagined comparisons, not measurements of any model. Times count generated output only: no reading, ranking, tool calls, permissions, tests, deployment, people or experiments. A budget is a writing allowance, not a finished product.
