Ep. 065 | The AI Price War Just Started

AI is getting cheap enough to stop being a novelty and start becoming part of your operating system.In this episode, Michael and Frank break down why the biggest AI story is no longer just smarter models. It is the price war happening underneath them — cheaper inference, more bundled features, and lower-cost automation that small businesses will feel fast.If the cost of AI keeps falling, the winners will not just be the companies building the models. It will be the business owners who move first, revisit the software they already use, and turn cheaper AI into real workflow leverage.Topics: Nvidia Vera Rubin · AI inference costs · AI price war · small business automation · software bundling · competitive advantage---Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does an AI price war mean for small businesses?It means AI features are more likely to show up inside the software you already pay for, often at lower cost or with more generous usage included. That changes AI from an expensive experiment into something practical for day-to-day operations.Why do cheaper AI models matter if I am not buying chips?You may never buy chips directly, but your software vendors do. When their costs fall, they can offer more automation, more always-on assistance, and more intelligent features without charging enterprise-only pricing.What should a small business owner do right now?Start watching for falling friction in the tools you already use. If your CRM, inbox, scheduling tool, or marketing stack suddenly adds useful AI features, that may be your signal to test and operationalize before your competitors do.---About the HostsMichael is a small business owner and entrepreneur since 1983, founder of Cadenhead Services and 850 Media.
