I've mostly been running LLMs on my own hardware so the phrase "been at it for about 20 minutes" gave me pause. My first instinct was to ask "but on what hardware?" but I suppose one advantage of closed models is that there's a somewhat-consistent cognitive-effort-to-time ratio.

Fair, I don’t know if this helps but it was Opus 4.8 (high effort) via Claude Desktop, but through my org’s LLM gateway so hard to compare really. But it’s usually pretty quick.

(don’t tell my boss.)
