Tokens are supposed to be close to how much these LLMs cost to use per prompt, they would never intentionally undercut their growth so it must actually costs Microsoft close to $6000 to let them do this lol
Yeah I think this person is just using an absolutely insane amount of AI. Like they probably just run the AI 24/7. So now that its billing their for their actual usage its super high. lol
Literally the only reason I can imagine someone not using it at this point is sinophobia lol. It performs very well and even for the pro model, tokens are ridiculously cheap.
I don't use it because I don't want to use AI. Is that a correct approach? I don't know and I don't care
Entirely fair, should've specified "over other models."
They probably use the more expensive models.
Tokenmaxxed
Can't properly tokenmaxx without a net-positive tokamak
Could be that performance targets for M$ executives have changed and they suddenly no longer get their bonus based on AI adoption but on financial numbers again.
Right, I assume there is some correlation, but it still hits like funny money meant to obscure the real cost to the end user.
