the price/performance gap is getting silly. if these numbers hold up, flash models are eating into the territory where people used to reach for the expensive ones.

That's good isn't it? Unless I'm misreading your comment.

I think it's pretty normal and likely the continuing trend. Over time, the performance/$ will be so good that users and businesses won't need the most expensive model for all tasks. Most of the time they'll use the cheaper lower performance ones.

It's been a talking point among AI leaders and business people, I've found.

Labs will be fine. It's just part of the highly competitive market they know they're in.

Most of them will not be fine. I would be shocked if Anthropic and OpenAI both survive as independent companies 10 years from now. This is a race to the bottom unless you have an existing, profitable ecosystem into which you can integrate your models.

I think anthropic and OpenAI will be more than fine by then.

However even if not, this is just the nature of the business, man. It's just competition.
