Reasoning models are the same speed. They’re just post trained with RL to do CoT inside tags like <thinking></thinking> before a tag like <response></response>
There’s no difference in the inference implementation, parameter count, or speed.
There's a difference in the latency distribution between when you submit a query and you see the response, which is what the comment is (clumsily) asking about.
But yeah, there are a lot of factors, so it's hard to answer, and tokens/s isn't the right question.
