Theoretical Bottlenecks of Million-Token-Per-Second Inference
October 3, 2026
A thought experiment explores the implications of million-token-per-second throughput, noting that extreme speed shifts the bottleneck from content generation to human decision-making and evaluation. Increased velocity does not improve reasoning capabilities but necessitates faster judgment of rapid-fire options.
HOW THIS AFFECTS YOU

founderYou should prepare for a future where the cost of generation is negligible, making user decision-making the primary product friction.
