I suspect that a lot of people are ignoring the shift to a model where you feed entire specifications to a group of models in differing configurations controlling different aspects of the development task. In that model it doesn't really matter how fast the tokens are generated, only that they are eventually generated and that the assembly is good enough. It's a specification compiler at that point.
