Not so fast. The costs for creating software with AI dependably is NOT going down. Cost per token is but many many more tokens are used that more than make up for it to use agentic systems. There are hard limits to scaling out of current LLM technology stack. Some of the new experimental optical chip stuff in the wings may fix some of that. But this basic approach does not scale indefinitely.
