    Maybe, but i never mentioned years into the future. Of course technology will improve. The hardware will get better and more effcient, and the algorithms and techniques will improve.

    But as it stands now, i still think what i said is true. We obviously don’t have exact numbers, so i can only speculate.

    Having lots of memory is a big part of inference, so I was going to reply to you that prices of memory stopped going down at a similar historical rate, but i found this, which is interesting

    https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/historical-cost-of-computer-memory-and-storage?time=2020..latest

    The cost when down by about 0.1x from 2000 to 2010. 2010-2020 it was only about 0.23x. 2020-2023 shows roughly another halving of the price, which is still a pretty good rate.

    The available memory is still only one part. The speed of the memory and the compute connected to it also plays a big part in how these current systems work.
