    That seems so weird when you think about the pricing for openai API. It feels at least an order of magnitude cheaper than using chatgpt plus subscription, which in turn is $20/month. If Copilot is losing money, openai must be burning money by truckloads.

      Openai is losing money. I’m too lazy to find the article, but it is mindblowing how much they’re losing

        major percentage of these losses can be attributed to the outrageous expenses of training language models.

        Those cost seems to be developmental and not operational, after they reach AGI I assume it will go down

      It sure is, what would make you think otherwise? It has enough VC money to burn
