What Happens When the AI Boom Slows Down
Patrick O'ShaughnessyMartin Casado
Frontier models captured 80%+ of dollar-weighted demand over three years, yet Casado estimates an individual model’s commercial lifespan at just three to six months.Startups may still pay 10 times more for the smartest model, sustaining pricing power even as coding workflows saturate.If demand saturates, value could shift to open source, a transition Casado says “nobody knows” how it would unfold.

GoodAlexander - The AI Trade Is Topping, Google’s Search Problem and the Long Coins Trade
Anthropic’s inference growth slowed from 140% to 45% quarter on quarter, putting frontier AI valuations at risk if Fable 5.5 fails to reaccelerate Q4 demand.A cheaper model matching Opus could compress adjusted inference gross margins from 50–60% to 10–15%, while AI search weakens Google’s monopoly pricing as search falls below 50% of revenue.CoreWeave’s blended financing can be manageable while GPU rental rates hold, but expanding capacity into slowing inference demand risks saturating the market with tokens.
