Epoch AI and MIT publish research on falling AI performance costs
Research from Epoch AI and MIT indicates that the cost of achieving a fixed AI benchmark performance level is dropping rapidly. Epoch AI measures an annual price decline of approximately 13x, while MIT estimates that algorithmic progress alone drives roughly a 3x annual efficiency gain after controlling for hardware advances and market competition. Claims are as reported; this summary makes no determination about accuracy or significance.
