Speed is easy when you ignore quality. I can generate random pixels under 1 nanosecond and claim to be ♾x faster than H3 and call it H3-ultra-lightning-fast. But this is not how people should innovate on speed in open. Image and video models are notoriously hard to optimize and we @ fal spend 2-3x more time on evals and making sure optimizations work than actual kernel engineering work. But when you see people claiming they are X times faster than original while messing the quality to a degree that the outputs has nothing to do with original model, it is annoying. Numbers below are for this case, but this is not the first/only one doing it. I'd recommend the authors below, and everyone on the field to run their own evals. Without preference and quality evals in the loop, ai-slop-performance agents can just lead you into a way you generate random pixels and it is just dishonest to call it anything but a random-pixel-generator.
