đ Cheap Intelligence Could Become the Foundation of the Next AI Boom
Every major technology wave accelerates when its fundamental resource becomes cheaper.
Computing became cheaper, and software exploded.
Storage became cheaper, and cloud applications expanded.
Bandwidth became cheaper, and the internet reached billions.
Now something similar may be happening with machine intelligence.
B.AI's announcement that DeepSeek-V4-Flash is becoming free, combined with its strategy of integrating leading models and lowering API costs, raises an important question:
What happens when powerful AI becomes inexpensive enough to be treated like infrastructure?
đĄ Lower Cost Means More Experiments
For developers, cheaper inference does not simply reduce bills.
It changes what they are willing to build.
More Agent loops can be tested. Larger contexts can be processed. More prototypes can fail without exhausting a development budget.
That creates a powerful cycle:
lower costs â more experiments â more applications â greater AI adoption.
𧩠The Winning Platform May Be an Aggregator
As models specialize, developers may stop searching for one model that does everything.
Instead, applications could route coding, reasoning, research, and other workloads toward different models.
That makes the aggregation layer increasingly valuable.
If B.AI can combine top-tier models, affordable APIs, and developer-friendly access in one place, its potential role becomes larger than model distribution.
It could become a gateway through which applications access intelligence itself.
đïž So What Does the AI âSuper Entranceâ Look Like?
Tomorrow night's Space will bring together Sun Wukong, B.AI, and several industry voices to discuss this emerging shift.
Will AI's dominant gateway resemble today's search engines? A multi-model platform? An Agent operating system? Or something completely new?
