I'm going to wager "yes" because o3-mini (High) gets equal benchmark scores to o1 despite using 1/3rd as much compute, and because the consistent trend has been towards rapid order-of-magnitude decreases in price for a fixed level of intelligence (trend has many components dovetailing, both hardware and software related). Can't forecast the future, but this would be my bet on a time horizon of < 3 years.
