The cost of running a top-tier AI query dropped 280-fold in roughly 18 months — from $20 per million tokens in late 2022 to seven cents by late 2024, a price collapse with no real parallel in the history of computing

The most important AI chart for startups may not be the one showing larger models, higher benchmark scores or billion-dollar training runs. It may be the one showing something quieter: the price of asking a capable model a question has collapsed.
