Why AI token prices are about to plummet
New AI technology, including Nvidia's Blackwell systems, is expected to significantly increase efficiency and reduce AI token prices. Companies like OpenAI and Silicon Data have noted declining token costs, with a spending index showing a drop from 2.06 to 1.75 in early June. Unnamed AI infrastructure firms also predict cheaper tokens due to improved models later this year.
