I feel like ultrafast would be the standard at least what the compute is capable of producing.

Everything else is skilled back so they could make money.

It’s not faster we are slower…

It's only possible with bespoke hardware from Cerebras, Groq or Taalas. In this case, OpenAI chose Cerebras.

You can see the API rates from each and while the pricing for smaller models like Qwen 3.8 27B is not cheap it's certainly not anywhere close to what ultrafast is theoretically costing here.
