Costs are decreasing due to technological advancements, increased model efficiency, and the availability of smaller, more specialized models. Large frontier models remain expensive, but costs for powerful yet cost-effective models have dropped significantly, and there’s no reason to believe this trend won’t continue. Specific reasons for cost reduction: - Smaller, More Efficient Models - Improved Training and Hardware - Mixture of Experts (MoE) Architecture - Specialization Evidence of cost declines include: price drops, cost-effective edge deployments, commoditization of core capabilities.
