AI digest
On October 3 a Hacker News post by echohive ran a thought experiment on how much faster work would go if AI generated 1,000,000 tokens per second. The post separates context capacity, input processing speed, total system throughput and single-agent output speed so the numbers aren't lumped together. It stays conceptual: no system that reaches that speed is named, and no measured speedup is given.
