> Won’t these H100s drop in price in a few years

Doubtful. The increase in demand is greatly outpacing supply, and all signs point to a continued acceleration in demand

> If I could drop $10,000 to have an effectively permanent opus 4.7 subscription today, I would.

lol well obviously, but realistically that price point is going to be closer to $100k, with a perpetual $1k a month in power costs.

Cool, thanks for the information. I guess they drive prices down by massively parallelizing requests on say an H100 X8 array? So this is spread across. So if I say, wanted to use it for 8 hours a day in my theoretical world it’d be too expensive. My work definitely wouldn’t pay $100,000 for a server farm even if it’d give an AI to all our employees, you’d have to have engineers, a colocation space, basically all the problems that companies didn’t like and went to AWS for.

		Well $100k was a generous guesstimate for some time in the future where something like an Opus 4.7 is old news. If we think about the near future, something like Kimi2.6 is within the realm of Opus 4.6 today, but requires closer to $700k in hardware to run.

Why? These models are going to keep drastically improving and given all the new data centers token prices will probably drop a lot in the future. Seems shortsighted given the absurd timelines these things have been improving on.
