  1. Wood: AI inference costs falling 99.99% annually may usher in an era of "benign deflation"BlockBeats news, October 3rd, Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest, stated that the cost reductions brought by innovative platforms such as AI will gradually transmit to the broader economy, enhancing productivity and corporate profitability, and driving inflation down to a level lower than most investors expect, which is the so-called "benign deflation." Cathie Wood believes that the current cost of AI inference is decreasing by 99.99% annually while performance levels remain unchanged. Meanwhile, OpenAI's annualized revenue run rate has increased from 20 billion USD to 70 billion USD, indicating that cost reductions are driving rapid demand growth. ARK Invest predicts that real GDP growth could reach high single digits, although this forecast seems "crazy" to most people; in a stronger real growth environment, interest rates might actually rise.
