‪Ed Zitron‬ ‪@edzitron.com‬ · 3h OpenAI is completely screwed. If they're losing money on $200/month, they're losing it on $20/month and their real costs are so much higher than they can ever get anyone to pay. A pale horse. - Screenshot from an article: https://techcrunch.com/2025/01/05/openai-is-losing-money-on-its-pricey-chatgpt-pro-plan-ceo-sam-altman-says/

t their model with their training, you don’t have any access to weights or training. And wit

OK, I see what's going on. The original premise is flawed. The $20 model is limited. It's intended for you to hit their web page and query for things. The $200 model is unlimited, you can API the crap out of it for your random project, run an entire business through it. It also gives you full access to o1 which appears to do 6-10 queries for every query to make sure it's not lying to you.

The $20 model doesn't have to be losing money for the $200 model to be losing money, they're completely different use cases and honestly, unlimited queries for fixed capital is never going to work, you can just sublet the access,
