Google's 3.5 Flash – which came out yesterday – is 200-300 tokens/second (albeit purportedly inefficient in its use of reasoning tokens) and according to Google, 800-1500+ tokens/second on their 8i TPUs when they're out!

It's... suboptimal, but hopefully that's a reason to hope... if Google get themselves together for 3.5 Pro / the next Flash.
