Jevons Paradox is counterintuitive and inspiring
OpenRouter (@OpenRouter): What happened when GPT 5.6 Terra and Luna were heavily discounted on OpenRouter?
Token usage exploded by 13.8x
Jevons Paradox = as technology makes the use of a resource more efficient, total consumption of that resource increases rather than decreases 🧵
Jevons Paradox is counterintuitive and inspiring
@gdb How about LISTENING to average users? ONE model for everyone who isn’t enterprise? Its a hard concept to understand, I know. Also, since your taking over the liars spot, I mean @sama, are you who.we direct the outrage and morality to? Just checking.
@gdb get yall shit together then just bring back Chatgpt 4o latest 0326 2025 & tons back. Just eat earwaxes from your wife’s ears motherfucker & from the gay husband’s of @sama just go get yourself check for steroids nigga then bring back Chatgpt 4o latest 0326 2025 & tons

GPT 5.6 Discounts & Jevons Paradox (4 minute read)
OpenAI's discount program on Terra and Luna models led to a sharp increase in token usage, competitive displacement from other labs, and notable user retention after discounts ended.
Reverse Jevons Paradox
The author explains the reverse Jevons paradox in software engineering: when the cost of making changes rises significantly due to red tape, the total volume of changes can drop to zero, leading to a fundamental halt in incremental improvements rather than a mere slowdown.

A discussion on how rapidly falling inference costs (280X for GPT-3.5-level in under 2 years) will lead to Jevons paradox, driving far more demand for AI and making multi-agent systems ubiquitous with cheaper open-source models.
@OpenAI: After deployment, we applied GPT-5.6 Sol to advance the frontier of efficiency by making itself more efficient to run. …
OpenAI deployed GPT-5.6 Sol, achieving 20% lower serving costs and 15%+ better token-generation efficiency through improved GPU kernels and speculative decoding.
GPT-5.5 may burn fewer tokens, but it always burns more cash
OpenAI's GPT-5.5 costs 49–92% more than GPT-5.4 in practice despite claimed token efficiency improvements, while Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 also raised effective costs by 12–27% for longer prompts, reflecting a broader trend of rising frontier model prices as both companies face massive projected losses.
