We posted an update about latency here: Pickaxe Latency Deep Dive 🕰️ - #3 by nathaniel
TLDR: The median latency added by Pickaxe is 3 seconds. In the worst 5% of cases that can get up to 10 seconds. On the other hand, for the model providers, median latency is 2 seconds but in the worst 5% of cases contributes 30 seconds. So, often switching model providers can really help worst case latency.
