It's not gonna stay that way. Token cost is being massively subsidized right now. Prices will have to start increasing at some point. | ||||||||

This is hard to say definitively. The new Nvidia Vera Rubin chips are 35-50x more efficient on a FLOPS/ megawatt basis. TPU/ ASICS/ AMD chips are making similar less dramatic strides. So a service ran at a loss now could be high margin on new chips in a year. We also don’t really know that they are losing money on the 200/ month subscriptions just that they are compute constrained. If prices increase might be because of a supply crunch than due to unit economics. | ||||||||

Seems like the real costs and numbers are very hidden right now. It’s all private companies and secret info how much anything costs and if anything is profitable. | ||||||||
