I think the big thing is this: Just random is the same no matter the delay, picking the fastest of 2 is much better but not that much worse than picking from 3. It seems similar to this strategy https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8BD7XQp/
It's a good theory, but the reason why I say gamble is because of the randomization going on, even in MoE, where it's been reduced a lot. I'm not sure how this works in gpt-5 or claude-4 though, so maybe that's worth testing too.
