Did Google Just Crack Cheap AI?
Character AI found a way to run massive language models without burning cash, serving millions efficiently. Google noticed—and might have bought them for it. Now, Google is offering free "flash models" on AI Studio, thanks to breakthroughs in cost-cutting inference. With pre-training hitting its limits, the real game is shifting to smarter techniques like chain-of-thought prompting and inference optimizations. It’s not just about building bigger models anymore; it’s about running them better.
