LLM comparison reveals task rounds, not speed, dictate performance

A developer compared four large language models—DeepSeek V4-Pro, Qwen3.8 Max, GLM-5, and Gemini 3.8 Flash—over a month to understand their performance beyond simple speed tests. The analysis revealed that the number of rounds required to complete a task, rather than individual response latency, significantly impacts overall completion time. Cost comparisons also showed that output tokens are substantially more expensive than input tokens, and cache hit rates are crucial for repeated queries on large documents. AI

IMPACT Highlights the importance of measuring task completion rounds and costs for effective LLM selection.
