TL;DR · AI 摘要
推理成本将像照明成本一样呈指数级下降，但可能因Jevons悖论导致总计算需求上升。
核心要点
- 推理成本每年下降约30倍，类似照明成本下降1000倍的历史趋势
- Jevons悖论可能导致总计算需求反而增加
- 1300年城堡照明成本类比质疑当前推理成本图表的合理性

Suhail on X: "This will happen to Inference"

This will happen to Inference
One data point in technology making everyone richer: the cost of lighting has decreased by over 1000x. 
-  It has been happening to inference. The cost of using a given model decreases by something like 30x a year.
-  I agree, inference deflation is real, but Jevons paradox likely applies: cheaper inference increases usage so much that total compute demand rises. Lighting saw the same effect.
-  Nobody paid 30,000 pounds to light their castle in 1300. This graph is idiodic.
