Nice job. It's exciting that the quality is approaching human level, but still I think we are spending way too many tokens, and the automation speed-up isn't really worth the total token price yet (unless you have very high-end gpus and you don't care about the completion speed of your tasks)

Thanks! I agree with your sentiment for a lot of basic mundane tasks, but there are a number of tasks that exist today that are very high value yet still mundane and requires manual work.

Examples include form filling, sales prospecting, lead enrichment, or even just keeping track of prices of important things.

Over time, we do expect the cost of tokens on these models to decrease drastically. Powerful vision models are still relatively new compared to other generic LLM models for text. Definitely a lot of room for optimizations that we expect will come quickly!

I wish AI products competed on token efficiency.
