Hardware has always gotten cheaper every year, and always will. You will be able to run Opus 4.6 tier models locally with junkyard hardware in 2035.

Citation needed. Hardware prices have gone up substantially in the past year.

i guess my point was that it isn't a given that hardware will always be cheaper, considering that memory prices this past year have gone through the roof.

you may argue that it is an outlier and capacity will increase to meet demand, which it probably will, but who's to say that won't just mean further demand from unlimited money ai companies and then further increased consumer prices?

would opus 4.6 be relevant in 2035 ?
