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