bdsqlsz · x · 2026-09-06
The author benchmarked GPT6 Astra across reasoning effort tiers, showing large time gaps:
- Max: 20 min
- xhigh: 14 min
- high: 7.5 min
- medium: 5 min
Going from medium to Max means a 4x increase in generation time — a practical look at how much reasoning effort costs in wall-clock time.
