It's subsidized. I will eat my hat if the number is less than 50%. It is even crazier at work. My personal account cost 3 times as much for the same prompt on my work account. Inference cost is the same for all users, you can't mega-ultra scale something that is at maximum scale labeled as a hyper scale.

    Yeah, subsidized by mainly Nvidias circular financing crap. This will cause a major recession, and it is so obvious for everyone looking at how much cash investors are throwing at this thing and how much you can actually earn with something that confidently misinforms you on the regular. Roleplaying like Character.ai is one of the better uses, because there false information isn't that relevant. Then there's coding where it is easy to automatically check for errors, and then... scientific uses. But i think that's it, and you can't prop up all that investment just with coding, RP and weather analysis (which is woke by definition in the US to boot) or interpreting CT scans.
