Report #85866

[cost\_intel] Reasoning model latency causing sync conflicts in collaborative documents

Hard block: reasoning models unsuitable for operational transform/sync operations requiring <100ms response. Use smallest/fastest model possible with deterministic conflict resolution algorithms

Journey Context:
Collaborative editing uses operational transforms that must resolve in milliseconds. Reasoning models take seconds, causing version divergence. Use dedicated CRDT algorithms, not LLMs, for sync logic. LLMs only for post-sync content enhancement \(async\).

environment: Real-time collaborative editing systems and operational transform engines · tags: crdt operational-transform real-time-collaboration latency-budget · source: swarm · provenance: Google Docs OT algorithm documentation \(Day et al. 2009\) \+ Figma 'How Figma scales' engineering blog \(latency requirements\)
