I don't see many companies being willing to pay 3x more for faster code generation. Cloud-based AI code generation is already extremely fast, and hardly the bottleneck for most software product development.

There can't be many normal use cases where there'd be any cost benefit.

The "traditional" way we vibe code is human software developer prompts AI -> AI generates code -> (human checks code) -> code gets compiled/deployed/etx -> users use "binary". At the speed of 1000 tok/sec, user prompts obliquely -> AI vets generated code -> code deployed -> user gets response from deployed code.

It's a cute toy right now, but you can tell an LLM that it's an http server, and have it respond directly to a web browser hitting it. It generates headers in response, as well as page contents. As 1000 tok/sec becomes three new normal, we will come up with newer ways to use it outside of toy fiction encyclopedias.
