Frank is a legend. Should put him in the Guinness Book.

A good 32% reduction taking it to less than a 1$ per TB.

Is it also partially a record due to the cloud provider (AWS vs Alibaba Cloud)?

AWS actually has a _higher_ unit cost than Alibaba Cloud

Couldn't the new record holder just use Alibaba to further break it or was it an S3 reason?

Alibaba Cloud isn't as cost-effective as it was in 2016. Also not sure how fast Alibaba's equivalent of S3 is.

With inflation in mind, wouldn't there a larger gap between Ray's sort and the previous WR holder?
