There's a link on "12 cents" that goes to https://www.vantage.sh/blog/gcp-google-gemini-vs-azure-openai-gpt-ai-cost https://www.vantage.sh/blog/gcp-google-gemini-vs-azure-opena...
Searching for "12" on that page leads to a price of $0.12/1k tokens for ChatGPT-4. Which a) is the cost OpenAI charges, not what OpenAI spends and b) is, obviously, off by a factor of 1000.
The NYT's tech coverage is truly, truly terrible.
