Cheaper, Faster, Smarter
Moore's Law is too slow for AI. We are seeing a 10x cost reduction every 18 months. O3-mini shattered the floor price for reasoning tokens. This flips the entire SaaS business model.
Previously, you sold 'AI features' as a premium add-on. Now, intelligence is so cheap that charging for it feels like charging for electricity. It's a commodity.
The Energy Standard
If intelligence is free, what costs money? Energy and Context. The bottleneck isn't the model's brain; it's the cost of moving electrons to power the GPU and the memory bandwidth to hold the context.
undefinedThe Death of the Metered API
We are moving away from 'pay-per-token' to 'pay-per-outcome'. The market will not tolerate metered billing for much longer. Flat-rate intelligence is the only way forward for consumer adoption. Imagine if Google charged you per search query—that's where we are today with LLMs, and it's about to end.
SaaS is Dead, Long Live MaaS
Software-as-a-Service is dying. We are moving to Model-as-a-Service where you pay for outcomes, not seats. Why pay $20/month for a seat when an agent can do the job for $0.02 per run?
