SPEAKER_01 said instrument control must account for physical-process timescales, and that API latency or excessive reasoning and tool calls can make control infeasible when they do not fit those timescales.

In their words

The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“And then there's sort of a timescale associated with different physical processes.”
“And if calling out to an API or something is simply too slow,”
“so the amount of reasoning or tokens or tool calls is just not matched to the latency of that actual process.”
“process then that that's infeasible um”
