OpenAI is losing money on the $200/month subscription π€―. It's crazy how expensive it is to run these largest LLMs:
- ChatGPT Pro costs $200/month ($2,400/year) and is still unprofitable for OpenAI due to higher-than-expected usage. - OpenAI reportedly expected losses of about $5 billion on revenue of $3.7 billion last year, with ChatGPT alone once costing an estimated $700,000 per day to operate. πΈπ₯ - They build strong models and do great research. Whether this business model will work in the long run is one of the biggest questions in the AI economy today.
