This trend is illustrated by the declining costs to reach certain Estimated Capability Index (ECI) scores, such as ECI 126, which dropped from $37.5 to $0.13. Recent models like Grok-3 mini and Gemini 3 Flash have further accelerated this price reduction, demonstrating significant cost decreases over short periods. AI
