Investor Bindu Reddy lays out five predictions for the AI market over the next six months: open-source models will keep improving, token prices will continue to fall, frontier labs will be forced into deeper price cuts, "fable and astra" will have to drop to $30 per 1M tokens, and ultimately 80% of all tasks will be done by cheap models. It's a prediction thread without supporting detail.
