It's more than 10x faster than the fastest alternative. And roughly 50x the average alternative.

Certainly, somewhere between fast and crazy.

It generates code faster than I can inspect it.

In other words, it's needlessly fast.

You might be able to use the extra time to have it do things like run some formatters, linters, run the code in a VM before you inspect it, or modify it for compliance with a style guide that you've written, and continually revise it for up to 5 tries until the conditions are met, something like that.

So maybe there's something useful to do with the extra speed. But it does seem more "useful" for vibe coding than for writing usable/good code.

I’d say super fast
