| They spent over $400k for an experimental project and published it without reading a single line of code?? I am so confused about the motivation behind this. |

| The motivation was to see the result. Why is reading the code an important concern? |

| They didnt actually spent 400k, that's in "API-priced" tokens, he spent ~$24,047 |

| ▲ | orthogonal_cube 33 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | Ok, that makes more sense. If the other comments are correct in saying this was done using a $200/mo personal subscription, I get this is more of a “what is possible, and how much would it cost without subsidized pricing” type of experiment. Thank you for clarifying on that. | |
| ▲ | chasd00 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | He didn’t spend that much either. That’s the equivalent API cost using his $200/month subscription. It took less than a day so I guess it cost about $7 in actual money. | |
