The author predicts that in the future AGI will be free for most people in most countries, but every provider will also offer an expensive professional tier — potentially around $150,000 per year.
He likens this to today's Bloomberg Terminal: you can get it for free, but the paid version is meaningfully better. The tiering model implies premium users in finance, research, and enterprises will pay a steep premium for top-tier capability while everyone else uses a good-enough free version.
