I used AI to predict prices of Amazon's 20 most popular SSDs for Black Friday and it doesn't look good at all (www.techradar.com)

Using Google’s Gemini, a TechRadar Pro analysis forecasted Black Friday 2025 prices for Amazon’s 20 most popular SSDs and found only modest cuts rather than deep discounts. The model was fed historical price points (Oct/Nov 2023, Oct/Nov 2024 and Oct 2025 plus contextual data) and — despite some messy or misaligned rows — consistently predicted small reductions: examples include the SanDisk 2TB Extreme dipping from £150 to ~£140, Samsung T7 2TB from £150 to ~£135, T9 4TB from £280 to ~£260, and the Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2TB from £117 to ~£105. Many portable and internal drives (WD Black gaming lines, Crucial and budget PNY models) are expected to stay roughly flat or see only nominal declines. For the AI/ML and retail-watching community this suggests a quieter storage-sales season: tighter manufacturer margins, higher component costs and lower excess inventory are limiting retailer ability to mark down stock. The forecast methodology — time-series feeding to a large multimodal model — highlights practical uses of generative AI for price prediction, but also underscores limitations (data cleanliness, alignment issues). Practically, buyers should temper expectations for blockbuster SSD bargains and sellers may retain pricing power unless supply or cost dynamics change.
