>they have faster tps and can call the tools faster.
This is like going to war with the HFT firms armed only with a stalk of celery ("it's much pointier than the tomatoes, even though those are more expensive").
Flash vs non-flash models are more about letting me know if model intelligence or model speed (with powerful tools/MCPs) are better for trading. I’m not telling the model to be fast as possible because HFT firms are already arbitraging those mini seconds to make pennies.
