It's crazy how much RAM has inflated in the last month. I checked the price history of a few DDR5 kits and most have tripled since September.

Why specifically just now? It doesn't seem that much has materially changed very recently.
It's due to every hyperscalar building out new AI datacenters. For example you have Google recently saying things like "Google tells employees it must double capacity every 6 months to meet AI demand", and that they need to increase capacity by 1000x within 4-5 years.
