> Keep in mind that this is the stupidest the LLM will ever be and we can expect major improvements every few months.

We have seen no noticable improvements (at usable prices) for 7 months, when the original Sonnet 3.5 came out.

Maybe specialized hardware for LLM inference will improve so rapidly that o1 (full) will be quick and cheap enough a year from now, but it seems extremely unlikely. For the end user, the top models hadn't gotten cheaper for kore than a year until the release of Deepseek v3 a few weeks ago. Even that is currently very slow at non-Deepseek providers, and who knows just how subsidized the pricing and speed at Deepseek itself is, given political interests.
