Right, but that's still not Anthropic adding an intentional delay for the sole purpose of having you pay more to remove it.

But it’s actually not so difficult is it? The simplest way to make a slow pool is by having fewer GPUs and queuing requests for the non-premium users. Dead simple engineering.

[stavros]

No, the simplest way is `sleep(10)`.

[yunohn]

No, that wastes actual GPU resources and money. The method I described saves them money on the cheaper pool.

Regardless, I sense you’re being sarcastic and difficult, so I have no desire to discuss this further.

[brookst]

Oh, of course. That’s just conspiratorial thinking. Paying to be in a premium pool makes sense, all of this “they probably serve rotten food to make people pay for quality food” nonsense is just silly.
