Agent config

Paste this into your coding agent and it can configure itself. The timeout is derived from this variant's measured throughput, not a guess — a long generation that outlives a client's default ceiling is the most common way a working request looks broken.

What Undisclosed means

This model is served on capacity we buy rather than hardware we operate, so we cannot verify the precision it is served at. We would rather say that than print a figure we are guessing at.
