Compute can.
- ben_w 4mo agoBack when I experimented with getting ChatGPT by paying for API access rather than the official subscription, the credit was denominated in money, not in tokens. Compute does whatever it does, but $5 sitting in an account to be spent on tokens at some arbitrary time in the future, earns money for OpenAI etc. even when they didn't make it expire.
