Ram upgrades are happening because of ddr5. Nvme upgrades are happening because of pcie5. Prices will come down once everyone is done upgrading.

The hourly cost problem is worse for agents than single-model calls because context accumulates across steps. each tool result re-bills everything before it. Rate limits are a ceiling but the quadratic curve hits you before the ceiling does. We built Traeco to surface that curve at config time, not billing time. traeco.dev
