It seems like caching has a huge contribution towards the low latency numbers they report. With a single request and no cache it appears to be quite slow, roughly in line with what you observed.

Don't your numbers suggest DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, for $100 more, gets you to slightly better agreement?

Boring and standard more often than not results in me having to trace through six files.

It would skip the Cloudflare to server network hop that the author mentions being rather expensive for cache misses.

If you’d like to reduce the network latency further you can store each trie node as a file, naming it conveniently the prefix path to that node. Then dump the few hundred million files onto R2.

Now the traversal can be done completely via CDN lookups!

I'll pause on the response for now since the condescension is not warranted.

They did make a decision? The current decision is no, that’s what it means to pause applications.

That’s a pretty penny on the bandwidth bill alone!

That's like saying the only way to do real engineering is with Google-scale Borg deployments. You can do quite a lot on very little hardware, r/StableDiffusion is a prime example.

Their competitive advantage is not so much running the browser but rather making the browser undetectable.

They boast a large residential proxy network too, which tells you all you need to know.

If it's only 14M parameters, why not ship it to the client and run on the user's device?
