Jevons paradox doesn't really suggest anything by itself. Jevons paradox is something that occurs in some instances of increased efficiency, but not all. I suppose the important question here is "What is the price elasticity of demand of inference?"

Personally, in the six months prior to the release of the deepseekv3 api, I'd made probably 100-200 api calls per month to llm services. In the past week I made 2.8 million api calls to dsv3.

can i ask what kind of api calls you're making to dsv3? Crunching through huge amounts of unstructured data or something?

Processing each english (word, part-of-speech, sense) triple in various ways. Generating (very silly) example sentences for each triple in various styles. Generating 'difficulty' ratings for each triple. Two examples:

High difficulty:

        id = 37810
      word = dendroid
       pos = noun
     sense = (mathematics) A connected continuum that is arcwise connected and hereditarily unicoherent.
       elo = 2408.61936886416
 sentence2 = The dendroid, that arboreal structure of the Real, emerges not as a mere geometric curiosity but as the very topology of desire, its branches both infinite and indivisible, a map of the unconscious where every detour is already inscribed in the unicoherence of the subject's jouissance.

Low difficulty:

        id = 11910
      word = bed
       pos = noun
     sense = A flat, soft piece of furniture designed for resting or sleeping.
       elo = 447.32459484266
 sentence2 = The city outside my window never closed its eyes, but I did, sinking into the cold embrace of a bed that smelled faintly of whiskey and regret.

People act like Jevons Paradox is an universal law thanks to Satya's tweet.
