OpenAI CEO Sam Altman shared a post about the dramatic drop in model inference costs, claiming he will 'raise Moore's law by 20x.'
The quoted post pointed out that compared to four months ago, OpenAI is now selling March's flagship-level intelligence at roughly one-thirteenth of the token price. This illustrates how the cost of LLM inference is plummeting at a pace far exceeding traditional hardware iterations.
