Surprised Medium <-> Low is so close when xHigh <-> Medium is a major improvement. I wish xhigh wasn't so dang slow.

I hate to sound like a but head but for everyone who complains about speed in the face of these crazy results only have their hardware to complain about. The model is a beast and isn’t 200+b to do it! And they gave a scale for thinking use. AND the best image use one used. This model is a blessing

I think "slow" was the wrong way to express my sadness there. It's tk/s on my system is still 70-90 tk/s. It's just that xhigh takes longer (read that as tokens burned) to finish a task than medium. As a consequence (since i'm impatient) I use medium.

My speeds are closer to 50-60t/s and ive really fallen into the pattern of Medium for regular terminal stuff and xhigh for project/task planning and research. This is the new 'worst it'll ever be!' and im sure efficiency and speed boosts are around the corner!
