To gauge AI progress, look at intelligence per dollar:
- 18 months ago, o1 Pro cost $150/$600 per M tokens
- Today, GLM-5.3 Flash costs $0.15/$0.50
That's a 1000x price collapse in under 1.5 years, while GLM-5.3 Flash is more intelligent than o1 Pro. The image mocks DeepSeek V4 Flash's value — "intelligence too cheap to meter."
