I don't see how the cost of inferencing existing models can become prohibitive. Multiple providers are selling DeepSeek 4.1 Flash tokens at just above cost, and seem to be doing so profitably.
What we do potentially lose out on are the next few generations of models in the case of a market correction, as the big labs won't be able to afford training anymore.
