being able to run a model fast is definitely more useful, but being able to run a model slowly for free is still super useful. agentic workflows are maturing all the time.

yes, if i'm directly interacting with the LLM, i want it to be reasonably fast. but lately i've been queueing up a bunch of things when i go for lunch, or leaving things running when i go home at the end of the day. and claude doesn't keep working on that all night, it runs for an hour or so, gets to a point where it needs more input from me, and gives me some stuff to review in the morning. that could run 16x slower and still be just as useful for me.
