The era of cheap AI compute appears to be ending as companies like OpenAI and Anthropic face a "compute crunch." This has led to increased prices, restricted access, and even product shutdowns for AI services. The high demand for AI infrastructure is also driving up the cost of consumer electronics and impacting global supply chains for components like GPUs and RAM. This unsustainable model, heavily subsidized by investors, is forcing a reevaluation of AI product pricing and availability.
