- The AI will become cheaper to use, explains Sam Altman.
- The CEO of Openai said in a blog post that the cost of using AI would drop by 10 times a year.
- Openai announced Stargate, an investment project on AI infrastructure of $ 500 billion in January.
Sam Altman, the CEO of Openai, says that AI will be used more frequently while its costs continue to fall.
“The cost of using a given level of AI falls approximately 10 times every 12 months, and the lower prices lead to great use,” wrote Altman in a blog article on Sunday.
“You can see it in the cost of GPT-4 tokens at the beginning of 2023 at GPT-4O in mid-2014, where the price per token fell by around 150x during this period,” He added. “Moore’s law changed the world to 2x every 18 months; it is incredibly stronger.”
It was one of the three observations made that Altman in his article, which focused on the development of AI.
In addition to the cost, Altman said that the intelligence of an AI model is equal to the quantity of resources used to develop it.
“It seems that you can spend arbitrary sums and obtain continuous and predictable gains; the scaling laws that predict this are correct on many orders of magnitude,” wrote Altman.
Altman also said that there would be “no reason why exponentially investments increase in the near future”, because the intelligence of AI models increases at a “super-exponential” rate.
“If these three observations continue to remain true, the impacts on the company will be important,” wrote Altman.
“The price of many products will eventually decrease considerably (right now, the cost of intelligence and the cost of energy limit many things), and the price of luxury products and some intrinsically limited resources as the land can Increase even more dramatically, “he added.
Altman representatives in Openai did not respond to a request for comments from Business Insider.
Altman’s position comes only a few weeks after a massive sale in AI actions in January.
The sale was triggered by the arrow success of the startup of Chinese AI Deepseek. The highly efficient models of Deepseek, but cheaper, have raised concerns that the demand for AI equipment and Nvidia chips could fall.
Meanwhile, technology giants like Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta double AI race. The leaders of these companies declared in recent profits reports that they increased their investments in AI.
Capital expenses combined by the four companies are expected to exceed $ 320 billion this year.
Last month, Altman was at the White House when President Donald Trump announced Stargate, an investment project in the infrastructure infrastructure of $ 500 billion. Stargate is a joint venture between Openai, Softbank, Oracle and Emirati Investor MGX.
“This means that we can create AI and Act in the United States of America,” said Altman about Stargate in an interview on the “special report of Fox News with Bret Baier” on January 21 .
