10 minutes to 10s, $1.68 to $0.16: betting on a steep generative AI cost curve
Flomerboy · x · 2026-10-04
Quoting a generative model demo that reportedly takes 10 minutes and costs $1.68 per generation, the author bets it won't be long before those figures drop to 10 seconds and $0.16. In a follow-up he notes the model interpreted a fusion of two games in the obvious way. Thin on details, but the steep cost/speed decline expectation is the point.
