Can you cite a source? Everything I've read describes the costing as linear with growth.

The 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.

That article seems a bit bogus. Cost per capability is a soft, non-predictive model unlike cost per token which has been trending up.

		This 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.
