AIAI costs have reportedly fallen about 47% per quarter since 2023 at a given performance level
Epoch AI says AI is getting cheaper faster than any other transformative technology in history, with cost declines four times faster than DNA sequencing and six times faster than compute.
TLDR
Epoch AI said on September 22, 2026, that AI costs at a given level of performance had fallen about 47% per quarter since 2023. It puts that pace at four times faster than DNA sequencing, six times faster than compute, 18 times faster than lithium batteries and 54 times faster than electricity up to 1973.
