The cost of running AI models like GPT-4 for SaaS applications has dramatically decreased, making AI-powered products much more affordable and accessible for startups. This rapid cost drop is poised to disrupt high-margin knowledge industries like finance, consulting, and law.

Why it matters: AI costs have fallen from prohibitive to $10-20 per user per month, enabling new business models.

The big picture: This shift mirrors the "iPhone moment" where technology becomes mainstream and transformative.

The stakes: Established industries risk disruption as AI makes high-value knowledge work cheaper and faster.

Commenters say: Many highlight the rapid pace of AI cost reduction and warn traditional sectors are unprepared for the coming disruption.
