Fast Models Need Slow Developers — Sarah Chieng, Cerebras
The talk "Fast Models Need Slow Developers" by Sarah Chieng of Cerebras argues that the advent of significantly faster AI coding models necessitates a fundamental shift in developer habits. While models like Codex Spark can generate code at 1,200 tokens per second, up to 20 times faster than previous generations, developers must adapt their workflows. Without this adaptation, the increased speed will simply lead to the rapid generation of low-quality code and technical debt, rather than unlocking new capabilities.
