Feels like we are incredibly early into pricing LLM usage. I suspect we are going to look back in the days these scripts were useful with some rose tinted glasses. I assume they have very peaky demand, especially when Europe + N American office hours overlap (though I'm assuming b2b demand is higher than b2c). I'm also assuming Asian demand is significantly less than "the west", which I guess would be true given the reluctance to serve Chinese users (and Chinese users using locally hosted models?). I know OpenAI and Anthropic have 'batch' pricing but that's slightly different as it's asynchronous and not well suited for a lot of code tasks. Think a more dynamic model for users would make a lot more sense - for example, a cheaper tier giving "Max" usage but you can only use it 8pm-6am Eastern time, otherwise you are on Pro limits.
