So, who pays for this?
This seems to be extremely expensive and somebody is footing the bill — this immediately raises questions as to how sustainable this is. I'm worried that I can't find the "Pricing" link on the home page.
EDIT: I'm actually OK with paying, I'm just worried whenever I see a service with an expensive (GPT-4 is expensive) backend and no pricing. There is no way that can continue indefinitely.
- amrb 4y agoWhat is chatgpt-turbo api pricing like .0001 pre 1k tokens, your paying more in workers salary at the moment.
- IanCal 4y ago$0.002/1k tokens, gpt4 is $0.03/1k tokens read and $0.06/1k tokens written.

- smallest-number 4y agoHopefully it's free for now to gather users, at which point they'll introduce a paywall. If it keeps working as well as it is so far, and remains private and free from ads, I really would not mind paying for this service. Especially as it keeps the company motives aligned with the users', i.e. providing good search results rather than showing as many ads as possible.
- zb3 4y agoI'd also like to ask what's the logic behind not disclosing their business model? Is it because: a) It doesn't exist yet / more data about usage is needed (ad supported vs paid) b) The price would be too high for most to start depending on this tool, hence this is a trick to crush competition and force users to pay higher price later c) It's already known that the product is not sustainable
- Too 4y agod) They plan to be bought by Google and make a big exit.
