I dont have estimates on the cost of running models, but I think openai and anthropic are running on subsidized prices. At actual prices it might be worth it in the future.
- anthonypasq 2mo agohow is this idea still so persistent? The fact people are able to run open models with about the same performance at 1/10th the cost should make it glaringly obvious that Anthropic has massive inference margins at api pricing.
- entrope 2mo agoI think the idea conflates price discrimination -- where people on individual subscriptions pay a much lower price per token than corporate accounts pay -- with using venture capital funding for opex. Both are subsidies in some senses, but the former is sustainable indefinitely.
- preg_match 2mo agoWhen people say "subsidized pricing" they're usually referring to subscription pricing, not API pricing.
