Market competition and innovation in both ML and hardware has consistently driven down the price of AI in the past decade. You only have to look at where we are with capabilities today compared to ten years ago when CIFAR100 classifiers were the state of the art.

Barring a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, these APIs will halve in price over the next year.

What would a Chinese invasion of Taiwan do to "tech", it sounds like it would be awfully catastrophic ?

On the other hand, for all peoples worrying about China, they are pretty restrained given the enormous turmoil the invasion would cause. If they wanted to break the USA, now would probably be the time to do it?

Well for one thing the US seems committed to blow up TSMC to prevent China getting the tech.
