This move signals a maturation phase in the AI arms race where cost efficiency trumps pure capability, shifting market focus from hype to profitability. In crypto, this could trigger a 'quality filter' where only AI projects with clear revenue models (e.g., Render Network, Akash) survive while speculative tokens face liquidation pressure. It also highlights Big Tech's strategy to monetize AI through enterprise adoption rather than consumer apps, reducing cross-sector synergies with Web3.

Google announced two new inference tiers, Flex and Priority, for the Gemini API to balance cost and latency.
