原标题：Intelligence is Free, Now What? <br> Data Systems for, of, and by Agents
AI 摘要
Berkeley AI Research Blog 发文指出，AI 推理成本大幅下降，GPT-4 级能力从每百万 token 约 30 美元降至不足 1 美元，部分低于 0.10 美元，年降幅中位数约 50 倍，预示近乎免费智能时代到来。文章提出数据系统需面向智能体（for agents）、由智能体构成（of agents）和由智能体合成（by agents）三大挑战，并探讨了智能体推测、结构化记忆等研究方向。

... government of the people, by the people, for the people ... — Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address (1863) The cost of AI is dropping rapidly. GPT-4-class capabilities cost roughly $30 per million tokens in early 2023; today the same runs under $1, and some providers are pushing costs below $0.10. Across benchmarks, inference prices have fallen between 9x and 900x per year, with a median decline near 50x. Even frontier models are getting dramatically cheaper each generation, with open-sour
