Much of the use of AIs is not paid on a per coding basis. When I’m able to run 15 simultaneous threads (and 100 per day) for 20$ per month with Google’s rules, I’m not paying the per-token price.
I think that’s likely because the my usage data is valuable enough for Google that they are okay with my money not really paying for the usage resources because they want the training data.
I think there’s a good chance that you will have to pay more if you actually want the best AI in December, but there’s a good chance that you don’t have to pay more if the second best AI is okay for you.
Given the short timelines of the companies, their main priority is building powerful AGI and not making money right now.
I agree that their priority isn’t making money. But prices are set by supply and demand, not by how much companies want to make money. The demand is going to go up a lot as AI becomes more actually useful in the real world, and the supply is going to go up only a little bit as the companies triple their total compute.
