EP55 Token Prices Dropping on Model Shifts with Carmen Li, CEO of Silicon Data & Compute Exchange
Token prices are falling as customers shift some consumption from premium models toward cheaper open-source and open-weight alternatives, according to Silicon Data’s tracking of 300 models.The index reflects observed spending choices rather than model quality, while workflow routing remains only a possible explanation because Li cannot see customers’ use cases.Whether the shift signals durable demand for cheaper models or changing workloads remains unclear, and Li does not establish why individual customers switch.
Ep. 022 - Market Drawdown, Historic Bubbles, Funding The Buildout, AI Politics (Doug is Back)
Memory’s euphoric unwind, amplified by leverage and SK hynix’s LTA-related miss, drove the KOSPI down 40% even as DRAM and NAND prices may still rise 30–50% next year.CXMT could accept roughly 10% gross margins and pressure pricing before scarcity ends, while AI demand remains the trillion-dollar unknown and old H100 value depends on infrastructure friction.Monitor whether financing, electricians, hyperscaler debt, and political backlash constrain a buildout whose $1 trillion capex already contrasts with roughly $150 billion of ecosystem ARR.
