It was very easy to see before this started that the models were just repetitive inflators. It’s not that they should “scale back” their use as much as the metric should be improvement/tokens. Tokens used is a denominator in any worth

I remain unconvinced that hexane in the oil poses any serious risk. It has such a low boiling point, it’s heated. It all evaporates out. What’s the mechanism keeping hidden undetected hexane in the product.

The next version from that vendor. Or maybe the market commoditization. You’re again conflating the product offerings from the capacity of the technology. It’s like kinetic energy vs potential energy. The real wait is for the cost in disk
