| There is just so much downward pressure on token price, from every direction. We would need a completely new understanding of economics to explain why the price shouldn’t go down. Or market collusion/regulatory manipulation. |

| The demand for them is growing _per person_, not just across the wider economy, if tokens cost half as much but you want to use 3 times as much you're going to have to pay more. |

| Maybe 1000s of tokens per second unlocks realtime robotic decision making, and now every robot needs to continuously stream tokens to and from the cloud to operate. That could 1000x demand overnight, just to speculate :) |

| The price has been going down for ages, its not clear what you are pointing at |

| ▲ | phoghed 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Pointing at the nay sayers who say tokens are heavily subsidized and it’s all going to come crashing down soon, surely any moment now | | |
| ▲ | dgellow 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I mean, it will obviously crash at some point. With so much pressure on token price to go down that means way less opportunity for margin for AI providers. OpenAI is in a pretty bad situation | | |
| ▲ | simianwords an hour ago | parent [-] | | What does this have to do with margins? It can remain the same once prices go down |
|
| |
| ▲ | dgellow 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | At the price going down? And that it will continue to go down, even if the hardware improvements stop. Not sure what isn’t clear |
