That’s an awful visualization. I can skim code quite quickly, but not when it shows up one character at a time in a small window, modem style.
At least that site should draw out a full page then start replacing that page with the next, starting from the top and working downwards, repeating each time it hits the bottom.
This is how tools like claude code and chat prompts output their tokens, so I'd say it's actually a pretty good visualisation.
Not for prefill. I suppose if you just want to imagine what generation speed looks like in the current generation of TUIs, it’s an okay visualization.
That's exactly what it looks like in the tools I use most (opencode and codex), so for that purpose it's a pretty good visualization.

are you by any chance hyperlexic? interested to hear more about this, like how fast is considered fast
