funny is that almost no one saw tokens getting expensive coming but i’ve been saying it since last summer
i was working on a mobile vibe coding startup and ofc was not happy with our margins
everyone was saying it will just get 10x cheaper for no reason
i asked employees in ai labs and their answer was:
“token cost is defined by 2 things: cost of energy and gpus. if any one of those gets cheaper, it will be cheaper”
basically without saying any confidential info, unless we solve fusion or randomly a new nvidia is born, it won’t be cheaper
until just last month everyone thought this thought of me that token will get more expensive was my most controversial idea
here we are now
what an eventful day, waking up to fable not being available for my overnight code rewrite
then these predictions by @ThePrimeagen which i really liked
0. token investment in startups for equity
1. token donation for oss projects (hopefully some to @joinmatrixos )
2. token budget per employee (totally makes sense)
3. token poker: brainstorming how many tokens a feature will take (instead of days/efforts in old agile days). in matrix we use “how many prompts it takes” xd
i agree with these if no black swan events happening. like open source/weight models and self hosting take over using apis for coding. in fact, it’s more like gray swan, given how well they are improving right now
all the things i had a chance to think about in my primrose hill hike this morning
voice agents are only as good as what they hear.
@angelos_peri leads speech-to-text research engineering at @ElevenLabs, working across Scribe v2 and Scribe v2 Realtime.
and he joins @raais 2026 in London on June 12!
love the use cases you mentioned, with a step change like this, guiding what to do with more intelligence/style/quality is needed
even more fun that you quote matrix, since i'm building matrix os (@joinmatrixos), an open source ai first os that you can build anything inside it and with it (we do only cloud coding)

Solid breakfast chat with @NathanLatka!
Dived deep into scaling @joinmatrixos and what the market is really demanding right now.
High energy, killer insights, and zero fluff. 🔥
