They are both the differentiator.
AI previously provided speed but not quality. As soon as quality reached an acceptable threshold, the speed became the reigning factor.
In my opinion the quality is still much lower, but speed means the cost is significantly lower also.
AI is already fast enough that human is a bottleneck. Hell, typing speed became a bottleneck like it was never before.
I mean, if an agent can do half-decent work in less time than it takes the user to prompt them (and "user" in this context is a fast touch-typist like most programmers are), it's obvious it's not the agent that's the bottleneck anymore.
