    @Yuchenj_UWIf you want to understand how fast AI is improving, look at intelligence per dollar. 1.5 years ago: o1 Pro: $150 / $600 per M tokens Today: GLM-5.3 Flash: $0.15 / $0.50 That’s a ~1000x collapse in price in under 1.5 years, while GLM-5.3 Flash is more intelligent than o1 Pro.
    @kimmonismusIntelligence too cheap to meter. A roughly 1,000-fold drop in price in just 18 months, while models keep getting smarter. That means in another 12 months you will have GPT Astra intelligence almost for free.
