> ...two days for a traditional NLP pipeline

Why 2 days? Machine Learning took over the NLP space 10-15 years ago, so the comparison is between small, performant task-specific models versus LLMs. There is no reason to believe the "traditional" NLP pipelines are inherently slower than Large Language Models, and they aren't.

[why_only_15]

my claim is not that it would take two days for such a pipeline to run but that it would take two days to make an NLP pipeline whereas an LLM pipeline would be faster to make.
