Not convinced. That is a very static view. You would think that the output of AI will be better AI, better energy sources and that will make AI way cheaper in the long run... It will end up a cheap commodity that is basically free to produce. Over the long run it is absolutely one of the best investments in projections.

"It will end up a cheap commodity that is basically free to produce."

Wouldn't this just mean that hardware manufacturers capture the profits, not hyperscalers?

The idea that a GPU being useful for 3 years is insane. There is little to no data to support that

Why is no one talking about open source models being burned direct to chip and running inference at 10k-15k a second?

OS models close the gap (via distillation) with frontier models, then get burned to chip, then offer commoditized inference via data farms or local plugins.

With thought loops this fast even if the models are less smart they can be self correcting to level them selves up.

You can't self-correct a model that's been burned to a chip. That seems like it'd be the main problem with ASIC AI, when everything's changing on a monthly basis, do you want to spend $x00 on a substandard model that'll be obsolete in 3 months, or wait 3 months?

If you burn a model to a chip what happens if there's a better model?
