Glm 5.2 very much argues against that. Opus 4.8 level quality for cheap. That’s sufficient for most tasks, so if/when you do need SOTA models you can spend more for specific tasks but otherwise rely on the cheap but still plenty good models for everything else
For me better models are like 8k TVs, my 4k TV is fine, I really don’t know if I can see or tell the difference from 8k and 4k, and to be honest I’m usually just streaming some 1080p anyway. Sometimes products reach the plateau where humans just don’t need better. I’d certainly never pay for AI, Gemini 3.5 Flash free works just fine when I need AI. I don’t even click higher models for free in the Gemini app. I mainly just care about speed. I’m not a programmer, AI doesn’t make me able to make my job better or make more money and the vast amount of people in the world are like me. These valuations are not based on that reality and the stock market correction is going to be 1930s level I fear.
