they have no idea if what they’re paying is what it actually costs though, so good luck building tools for the future when the resources are artificially priced.

I mean, I agree that a lot of money was spent training some of these models - and I personally wouldn’t invest in an ai based company. The economics dont make sense.
However, worst case, self hosted open source models have got pretty good, and I find it unlikely that progress will simply stop. Diminishing returns from scaling data yes, but there will still be optimizations all through the pipeline.
That is to say, LLMs will continue to have utility regardless if Open AI and Anthropic are around long term.
