AI researcher Nick Cammarata says prompting agents for a 50x speedup yields a 30x improvement by forcing deeper searches

Requesting a modest 2x speedup typically yields only 1.5x.

if you want a 2x speed up on something and you ask an agent it’ll come back with sorry the best I could find was 1.5x :( if you instead ask for 50x it’ll come back saying sorry the best I could find was 30x :( then use that one
