02Choosing
Which one should I pick?
Short version: turn on Agent37. It is the fastest at new chats, at waking, and at bringing old chats back, and the gap is widest on chats you come back to later.
Recommended
Agent37
Pick it if you want the fastest Machine, everywhere.
- Quickest new chats, and quickest to wake.
- Days-old chats come back in seconds, not minutes.
- The one we use for our own work.
Optional
Maritime
Pick it to try the newest option.
- New chats and restarts are quick.
- Only a handful of runs so far, so the numbers may move.
- Waking a long-asleep chat is not measured yet.
Optional
Boat
Pick it only if most chats are short and fresh.
- New chats start about as fast as the others.
- A sleeping chat takes about 3 minutes to come back.
- Restarts take over a minute.

Start a chat
New chats use the new computer. The chat header shows which one. Chats you already have keep theirs.
04Method
How we measured.
- Timed by hand on the live Machine app, with a page timer from pressing Enter to the answer appearing.
- Numbers are medians: half the runs were faster, half slower. Few-run cells are marked.
- Runs from November 6 to November 8, 2026, after the latest speed fixes went live.
- Same small model and the same one-line prompt every time, so only the computer changes.
