I feel that the details regarding the type of the model and the purpose it serves are underrepresented here. Yes existing models will get cheaper over time as they become more obsolete but to be at the forefront of innovation or models costs will only increase due to the these mentioned bottlenecks. Also there is the basic law of supply and demand coming into play here. As models get more advanced more industries will be exposed to them and see the potential cost savings compared to the current alternative. This will further increase demand and with further innovation, there will be further capability in turn again increasing demand. I only see this reversing is you are not at the forefront of innovation and many people using these LLMs at this point are close at least compared to many "normal" people and their understandings of LLMs.
