Sounds kind of like another K shaped economy. Low end models will be highly competitive and low profit. Problems that can be solved by low end models will be highly competitive and low profit too.
Where the interesting work will be is at the median point where cheap models do almost all of it but need to hand off some parts to the SOTA/more expensive models. Seems like there's money to be made by maximizing low end use while maintaining quality.
