Certainly Microsoft's GPTv4 infrastructure is still eye-wateringly expensive:
> GitHub Copilot has reportedly been costing Microsoft up to $80 per user per month in some cases as the company struggles to make its AI assistant turn a profit.
> According to a Wall Street Journal report, the figures reportedly come from an unnamed individual familiar with the company, who noted that the Microsoft-owned platform was losing an average of $20 per user per month in the first few months of 2023.

- jmerz 3y agoI'm hacking on some GPT-for-long-form-text stuff right now and it is _eye wateringly_ expensive once you start generating at anything close to "professional human" token outputs. $80 per month sounds already pretty optimized.
- alsodumb 3y agoThis article about copilot is BS. Nat Friedman refuted this on twitter and made it clear that copilot wasn't losing money.
