Per Ornn data, average paid token prices have dropped sharply since June: OpenAI -62%, DeepSeek -51%, Google -29%, Anthropic -11%. Over the same period, B200 GPU rent rose 50% and H200 rose 28%.
The cheapest open-weight model completes a task for about 1/5 the cost of a comparable closed model, without needing the newest chips. As models approach free, every GPU becomes a shovel — value accrues to whoever owns the compute.
