I think demand is too great and compute is not enough. Nothing to do with billionaires colluding to increase prices by 3x.

Actually, why should Google collude on pricing? They have deep pockets and could starve out the competition while keeping prices low, if they really wanted.

I think it is priced high because it's basically their smartest model as well as their fastest, so why shouldn't they?

You can still use earlier generations of Flash at a lower cost if you want "fast and cheap and just OK," which often makes sense. (Just checked)

I would predict they will lower this price when 3.5 High appears, but perhaps not all the way.
