    Where are they raking the money from? Who is giving them billions of dollar? Are all investors and CEOs dumb as a bucket?

    I’m so confused.

      What I cannot understand is that the cost per 1M of tokens keeps going down.

      This stuff is converging on nearly free, especially if you don’t use the most expensive model and even more especially if you opt to host your own infrastructure and run models yourself.

        As someone who doesn’t know much about their paid tiers, if you host it on your hardware, are there really some that are worth paying for vs just using one that’s available for free? I kind of assumed there wasn’t much of a difference and that’s why they were trying to ban ones who had “outside influence.”. Because in the end they’ll all be using mostly the same data sets and the differences will be who is manipulating the answers to influence the end users, which has some profit to it, but not nearly as much as they would need

      It’s a problem they’re running headlong into. Anthropic basically is going to suck all the money out of the market and their IPO suggests they’re going on a spending spree and will issue more debt, which makes it even tighter.
