What I am noticing with every new Gemini model that comes out is that the time to first token (TTFT) is not great. I guess it is because they gradually transfer computer power from old models to new models as the demand increases.

If you’re imagining that 2.5Pro gets dynamically loaded during the time to first token, then you’re vastly overestimating what’s physically possible.

It’s more likely a latency-throughput tradeoff. Your query might get put inside a large batch, for example.
