> These prices seem to keep increasing while we were promised they'll keep decreasin

I don't remeber anyone promising that, but whoever promised you that, in some period of time which includes our current present, frontier public model pricing would be monotonically decreasing was either lting or badly misguided. While there will be short term deviations, the overall arc for that will continue be upward.

OTOH, the models available at any given price point will also radically improve, to the point where you can follow a curve of both increasing quality and decreasing price, so long as you don't want a model at the quality frontier.
