The transcript segments this claim was taken from
“but for some of the benchmarks,”
“basically if you have four agents working on the problem,”
“it is done twice as fast.”
“So you're basically paying,”
“because there's four agents working for half as long,”
“you're paying a 2x more to get an answer twice as quickly.”3:49Report a misattribution
