EP030: The AI Pricing War — Why Model Costs Dropped 90% in One Year
from AI Dev Tools — The Crazyrouter Podcast

We break down what's driving the price war (competition, inference efficiency, open source pressure), the hidden costs most developers miss (rate limits, latency, reliability), and why the smart strategy is dynamic model routing instead of locking into one provider.
