Frontier model speed gap is underrated: 1.8 min per task vs 12.7 for DeepSeek
rickasaurus · x · 2026-11-11
airshaped highlights an under-discussed point: frontier models are dramatically faster, not just smarter. Citing Artificial Analysis data, sol low is only slightly smarter than deepseek flash high but takes 1.8 minutes per task versus 12.7. The attached Intelligence Index vs. Time per Task chart shows the top-left quadrant dominated by Claude Fable 5.2 and GPT-6.1 variants, while models like GLM-5.3 and Claude Sonnet 5.5 need 30–46 minutes per task.
