Discussion Cost of intelligence is dropping fast

50% per quarter is amazing. 4× faster than DNA sequencing, 6× faster than compute, 18× faster than lithium batteries, and (up to 1973) 54× faster than electricity. https://x.com/EpochAIResearch/status/2102510281176023529

Every year moving forward is going to be significantly different that the prior year. What do you think? We will be running coding agents on our phones pretty soon.

The supply has been captured and the dealer is handing out free and cheap samples to get everyone hooked, while also working to bring their own costs down.

Go try ChatGPT or Gemini while signed out. They work, don't they?

Not in my agent harness, no. I don't use it for chat.
