Everyone is guessing how much better llm can get, I wanna know how much it really costs.
I assume all ai companies are operating at a loss, but to what degree? Is all the RAG stuff a fad or in the future a significant part of api requests will go through llm? Can you stuff million lines of code into the black box and expect it to come up with a reasonable answer at a reasonable price?
I can't answer any of that without knowing the algorithmic cost of all this stuff, and whenever I try looking the answer ranges from "well its a few times heavier than a google search" to "a single request can power a small household for 6 hours"
