Token prices have literally gone up, where are you getting this information from.... Noone would have pay for a bespoke linux made by an stochastic llm when security is a concern, even if it was $10.00 which it will never be.
The hardware required to run these things has all ballooned in price, there are no efficiencies coming. To run Kimi2.5 4bit you're sitll spending 100k in hardware, and its not nearly as reliable as Claude. Also Agentic Tooling have made their token consumption go up to increase revenue, and models are becoming more verbose in their output (wonder why). You're smoking something.

I said like for like. You can't compare GPT5.2 tokens with GPT3.5 tokens. They're different products.
You can run local AI models today which can compete with early chatgpt releases for a fraction of what those models cost to use at the time. Thats the claim I'm making.
