The reply proposes two predictions regarding model development:
- Models similar to fable level 5 are likely to become 3 to 4 times cheaper within the next 6 months.
- Models similar to Opus 4.8 level have over a 50% chance of running locally on devices within the next 12 months.
The speaker emphasizes that the likelihood of both events is high, reminding everyone to factor in this rapid cost reduction and on-device execution capability when predicting the future of AI.
