Today's frontier models will be tomorrows low-end option. I think whatever model you are using today will be less expensive to use a year or two from now.

Last year's o3 was more expensive than 5.5 is. Whatever model we are using now is probably be more expensive than next year's leading models will be.
Price per M/tokens is also a fuzzy metric when newer models reason longer, and then burn more tokens while doing so.
Isn't 5.5 a router, though? As in, some prompts get automatically sent to a cheaper model?
