How long can artificial intelligence companies maintain a monthly subscription fee of $ 20?

After launching the GPT-3.5 and gained popularity, Openai decided a $ 20 fee, we will all pay for the distinguished subscription to obtain all the arrival of the artificial intelligence we want.

What went to these accounts? It is very unlikely.

The standard fees decided by Openai executive officials for a subscription product.

Others like Claude and the confusion forced to follow her example by sticking to the number $ 20 because no one now will not pay one fils.

Except, it turned out that users really wanted to make a noise when paying the subscription price and with use, the costs of the graphics processing unit were very high-which made 5 Pacz to take the subscription loss to the IQ companies.

Openai sought to correct this through a huge subscription of $ 200 that led to access to its upper models such as O1, O3 and AI agents such as the operator and deep research.

Except, Sam German revealed that even in this layer is so high that Openai simply cannot make a profit.

Openai set the tape and everyone had to follow.

Dibsic surprise

In all of this, Dipsik revealed a surprise – that he expects a theoretical profit margin of 545 %.

It is theoretical because Deepseek does not represent less charging within hours other than peak, differences in their models, and the fact that it provides a lot of access via the on the web interface on Chat.deepseek.com And mobile phone applications.

So, how can Deepseek profit? Well, because it claims to use the graphics processing units that cost it much less in a much lower amount. It also holds a much smaller team – estimated about 200 employees in Openai, which is more than 2000 employees.

However, it is somewhat displaced to talk about Deepseek, due to confidence in issues on how information usually appears from China. However, it is the most exciting project on the two fronts-its penetration in the unparalleled thinking model and its contribution to Indiehachaker and Ethos open source.

What is the right price to pay for artificial intelligence?

The true value of any company or industry comes with an answer to a simple question: Do users want to pay the price of your product or your service?

Adventure capitalists pour billions of dollars and billions in developing artificial intelligence with hope for glorious returns. Leaders in space like Openai are struggling to achieve a balance between costs and revenues is not a good sign.

Some industries such as Web3 are stuck forever in the “emerging industry” area and artificial intelligence will not want to be in this company.

So, how will the profit happen?

Sam now plays with the idea that we may pay as we go to what we use.

I am not sure where this proposal comes, but I expect it to be a disaster if it is implemented.

This is not different from the way we pay in exchange for Openai applications programming interfaces when creating our own applications, but calculating symbols is not the way people want to use to the AI ​​Consumer Chat app.

The burden of “heavy user”

The surface -free model that is currently being painted may be painful at the present time but it may work in the long run.

Why do you ask?

Because the first adopters are also likely to be heavier users.

For flat subscription fees to pay stock profits, companies need more cross -stakes and a lower number of active intelligence obsessive.

It is possible that the best solution is to maintain a $ 20 subscription with access to unlimited basic models (GPT-4O, O3-MINI, O3-MINI-HIGH, etc.) and giving limited distinct features such as deep research uses or 3 GPT-4.5 claims, with the ability to pay more as it goes.

A primitive analysis of how to accommodate the different pricing models for Openai, which was created using a dedicated text program in Python.

Payment for every very logical use with a heavy deviation towards energy users, which is a possible scenario at the time. With the broader adoption and variable deviation, you will likely get better results with a fixed fee structure.

An additional $ 20 charge for added use, and you have the optimal scenario – whether for the user or the company. At least, this is what the trend now seems.

This is the thought that I leave for you today.

What is new?

• Claude Anthropalic Club has raised another $ 3.5 billion in a financing round estimated at $ 61.5 billion!
• Openai provides the most “emotional intelligent” GPT-4.5 model to users as well as users.
• Deutsche Telekom launches AI phone in partnership with confusion. (I expect it to be a note.)
• Amazon may work in its hybrid style, similar to what Claude recently launched in Sonnet 3.7.
• Key Nvidia Partner Coreweave, which runs on the right road to the public subscription, has acquired the weights and biases of the platform of artificial intelligence developers.
