I don't pay anywhere near 0.30usd in the US - I pay half that off peak and can buy 1000$ worth of batteries to load up on super off peak (0.11usd). Also the inference providers are fighting over market share with huge debt loads so they are definitely going to go up in price.
Inference costs will go down massively once they use the upcoming GPUs. I estimated that a model like GLM5.2 will be around 0.03USD/M output tokens in 2 years when the Feynman GPUs will be available in 2028. And this did not even consider architectural efficiency improvements. In mid 2027 we will already see a 10x reduction once everyone has switched to the Ruby architecture.
It will be feasible for everyone to have 20 different agents running at all times. A new world is coming
Yeah I had to check, I'm paying 0.08usd per kwh. This is in the US PNW with quite a bit of local hydro power.
It's all relative. On the opposite coast, Maine it is ~ $0.28 cents kwh including getting it there. (~ 50% energy, 50% delivery). It's too darn expensive here.
