My point is that if you are making coffee and not buying it ready from some expensive place just because the name then $10 wouldn't give only two cups. I bet you might spend about $10 per whole month in many places if you making it yourself.

That's a good argument, my point was not saying that price is expensive. Just the coffee comparison is not true. Also one can talk about people working as programmers outside NA and EU but well probably they will probably not be using jetbrains IDEs but they are free for students. I really hoped they would have some education discount.
- yunohn 3y agoIf you want to make coffee at home, sure the amortized cost could be less than $10/mo. But, I wouldn’t consider that a fair comparison - probably running a code LLM locally could also turn out cheaper. We’re talking about paying others for the work instead of doing it ourselves. If not a coffee, eating out at a restaurant or buying an tshirt - anything can easily blow through $10 in one go. The problem is that the upfront GPU hardware is expensive, both for training and inference. You could save on electricity by relocating datacenters, but probably wouldn’t make a big difference. Sadly, geo-based pricing might be difficult for LLMs.
