- josefritzishere 4mo agoThat article seems a bit bogus. Cost per capability is a soft, non-predictive model unlike cost per token which has been trending up.
- simianwords 4mo agoThis is just hand waving on the obvious consensus that cost per capability is going down. There’s no doubt about it. Hell you can run a Gemma 4 model on your laptop that mogs GPT 4. But yeah you can use fuzziness as an excuse and ignore the trend.
- trollbridge 4mo agoThe quality of what you can get from DeepSeek V4 Pro for $10 is light years ahead of what you could get for $20 a year ago. Likewise, the quality of what I can get from a local model like Qwen 3.6 on an RTX 5090 is light years ahead of what I could get a year ago on the same hardware.
