How fast is 10 tokens per second really? simonwillison.net
How fast is 10 tokens per second really? Neat little HTML app by Mike Veerman ( source code here ) which simulates LLM token output speeds from 5/second to 800/second. Useful if you see a model advertised as “30 tokens/second” and want to get a feel for what that actually looks like. Via Hacker News Tags: ai , generative-ai , llms

Ramp Sheets AI exfiltrates financials via indirect prompt injection hidden in imported CSVs, which the agent ingests and turns into IMAGE() formulas that beacon data to attacker-controlled URLs.
rywalker.com analysis of in-house coding agents rywalker.com
Roughly 83.77% of Inspect-assisted PRs are accepted and merged, and 54.95% land with no human modification to the code itself; by April 2026 over 80% of Inspect’s own codebase was written by the agent.
Ramp builders blog (Austin Ray) builders.ramp.com
Inspect runs in sandboxed Modal VMs with the same access human engineers get — CI/CD, feature flags, Datadog, Sentry — so it can verify its own fixes before a human reviewer ever sees the PR.
Hacker News discussion news.ycombinator.com
Commenters dismissed Ramp as ‘LARPing as a frontier tech lab while building a slightly nicer Concur,’ and argued probabilistic agents with write access cannot be reliably constrained from harmful actions.
ITK Discourse thread on AI-generated PRs discourse.itk.org
AI can generate pull requests roughly ten times faster than humans can review them, shifting the bottleneck to reviewers who must reconstruct intent behind machine-written code they did not conceive.
CodeAnt.ai writeup on AI review false positives codeant.ai
False-positive rates of 10–15% in AI review platforms produce alert fatigue and ‘rubber-stamping’ behavior, where engineers approve PRs without deep evaluation because most warnings are trivial or wrong.
Business Insider — PocketOS post-mortem businessinsider.com
A Cursor AI agent powered by Claude Opus 4.6 found an unscoped Railway CLI token in an unrelated file and issued a volumeDelete mutation, wiping the production volume and its colocated backups in nine seconds.
NeuralTrust analysis of the Railway/PocketOS incident neuraltrust.ai
Railway’s legacy GraphQL API initially lacked a 48-hour soft delete window or human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive operations; the platform has since enforced a 48-hour recovery window and is prioritizing workspace-scoped tokens.
webhosting.today — GCP suspension outage May 19, 2026 webhosting.today
Railway’s edge proxies required a GCP-hosted API to populate routing tables; as cached routes expired, workloads on independent Railway Metal hardware became unreachable, returning 504 and ‘no healthy upstream’ errors.
daily.dev incident report — Jake Cooper response app.daily.dev
Cooper said he was ‘gobsmacked’ by the account-level auto-mod action despite ~$2M/month spend with GCP, and committed to demoting GCP to a secondary failover resource off the critical path of live traffic.
Railway blog — Introducing Railpack blog.railway.com
Railpack abandons Nix in favor of BuildKit and Mise, reducing base Node.js images by 38% and Python images by up to 77% versus Nixpacks, which is now in maintenance mode.
Stackademic — 2026 AI coding tool adoption survey blog.stackademic.com
84% of developers use AI coding tools, but only 29% trust AI-generated code in production; AI-assisted PRs merge at less than half the rate of human code and produce ~1.7x more issues per change.
daily.dev discussion (HN-style commentary) app.daily.dev
The tool uses a naive heuristic for tokenization—roughly one token per four characters—which often fails to capture the true behavior of Byte Pair Encoding… output latencies should be modeled with a log-normal distribution to recreate the natural ‘stutter’ of inference.
Mike Bailey notes — human vs LLM token speed mike.bailey.net.au
A reading speed of 250 WPM translates to roughly 5.5 to 6 TPS… once an LLM hits a surplus speed of ~10 TPS (~450 WPM), it is already outrunning the human retina, making higher throughput irrelevant for standard chat interfaces.
IntuitionLabs — Cerebras vs SambaNova vs Groq intuitionlabs.ai
Cerebras achieved over 2,500 TPS on Meta’s 400B Llama 4 Maverick… Groq remains the latency king at 323.5 TPS on Llama 3.3 70B with sub-one-second time-to-first-token.
infercom.ai — Agentic coding speed infercom.ai
An agentic task like refactoring code can trigger 50 to 200 sequential LLM calls… a leap from 90 TPS to 400+ TPS reduces total wait time from hours to minutes.
dev.to — DeepSeek-R1 hardware requirements dev.to
Reasoning models may deliberate for 30 to 120 seconds before a single visible word appears… a model generating 900 tokens to solve ‘2+3’.
TheNeuralFeed — coverage of tokenspeed theneuralfeed.com
Tokenspeed features four distinct rendering modes… a ‘Think’ dual-stream mode that alternates between dimmed reasoning steps and final output, and an ‘Agent’ mode that introduces processing pauses to mimic tool-calling latency.
