The price of AI is crashing faster than the rate of Moore's Law — intelligence costs are in freefall, outpacing comparative technologies like compute, DNA sequencing, and lithium batteries (epoch.ai)

I wonder how they plan to match "prices are in free fall" to "the AI industry will have to make trillions a year in order not to go bust".

On the other hand, "prices in free fall" might be the answer they got from AI...

At this point the cloud model firms are basically banking on making a superinteligence before anyone else and taking over the planet, otherwise they go bankrupt. I wish I was kidding.

Nvidia wins either way though, local models, cloud models, shovels always sell. So they have that overvalued but still realistic bedrock to build houses of cards on.

Nvidia wins unless some other company starts selling cheaper, faster, more efficient matrix multiplication machines.

I've read some articles about radically different inference architectures that may tilt the scales, but I know this is wishful thinking because I really would like Nvidia to fail badly.

Plenty have tried, all have fallen over flat on their face when it comes to actually providing usable drivers or production at scale. AMD's still completely half assing it even today and Intel's OneAPI and Vino is a bloated joke.

But yes I would love a future where AMD finally hires an actual software team.
