LOOK UP WHEN NEEDED
Generation speed
The amount of output generated per unit time.
An everyday example
How many dishes arrive per minute after serving begins.
See how these concepts connect
A harness coordinates the loop: a model suggests actions, tools execute, and results are checked. Skills provide procedures; MCP can connect tools. Neither is the model.
Where this term is useful
These are related contexts, not prerequisites.
Back in the project
When it comes up: When selecting models and evaluating answers.
What to do next: Try a small real task and check facts and results before choosing.
Open the related method and stepsWhat can this analogy leave out?
Fluency, model size, or thinking time alone does not prove correctness.
Everyday examples explain roles and relationships; actual behavior follows the tool, language, or platform.
