Ornn publishes economics paper on open-weight inference costs

Ornn Data releases a research paper examining how open-weight AI models affect the economic lifespan of older GPU families. The study compares pricing across eleven open-weight and eight closed models, finding that self-hosted open-weight inference costs $0.12 to $0.35 per million output tokens—substantially cheaper than closed-model APIs.
“These findings challenge forecasts that newer hardware eliminates the earning capacity of older GPUs. Instead, they suggest that older NVIDIA generations retain a multi-year earning life so long as they serve suitable workloads competitively.”
