[Coinbase CEO: Coinbase is Routing Some Prompts to Lower-Cost Models] Deep Tide TechFlow reports that on June 8, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that within the next 12 to 18 months, 80% of AI workloads may run on models that are 99% cheaper, while the remaining 20% of workloads will still rely on the latest generation models. He believes that the industry's bottleneck will be more focused on energy and computing power rather than the models themselves. Brian Armstrong also mentioned that Coinbase is working to route prompts on demand to lower-cost models and, in scenarios where token usage continues to grow exponentially, maintain roughly stable costs in certain cases.
