What’s Happening

Alright so A diagnostic insight in healthcare.

A character’s dialogue in an interactive game. An autonomous resolution from a customer service agent. (it feels like chaos)

Each of these AI-powered interactions is built on the same unit of intelligence: a token.

The Details

Scaling these AI interactions requires businesses to consider whether they can afford more tokens. The answer lies in better tokenomics Read Article Leading Inference Providers Cut AI Costs 10x With Open Source Models on NVIDIA Blackwell Baseten, DeepInfra, Fireworks AI and Together AI are reducing cost per token across industries with optimized inference stacks running on the NVIDIA Blackwell platform.

By Shruti Koparkar A diagnostic insight in healthcare. The answer lies in better tokenomics — which at its core is about driving down the cost of each token.

Why This Matters

This downward trend is unfolding across industries. Recent MIT research found that infrastructure and algorithmic efficiencies are reducing inference costs for frontier-level performance 10x annually. To understand how infrastructure efficiency improves tokenomics, consider the analogy of a high-speed printing press.

The AI space continues to evolve at a wild pace, with developments like this becoming more common.

Key Takeaways

  • If the press produces 10x output with incremental investment in ink, energy and the machine itself, the cost to print each individual page drops.
  • When token output outpaces infrastructure cost, the cost of each token drops.

The Bottom Line

These providers host advanced open source models, which have now reached frontier-level intelligence. Source frontier intelligence, the extreme hardware-software codesign of NVIDIA Blackwell and their own optimized inference stacks, these providers are enabling dramatic token cost reductions for businesses across every industry.

Is this a W or an L? You decide.
