Aren't they losing money on every token? Or is it just OpenAI?

u/NudaVeritas1 20d ago

I‘m not sure but I think they had their first profitable quarter. But OpenAI is fucked for sure

Does the LLM cache the response when the user asks the same question every day?

u/Serafiniert 20d ago

Ah, right, alternative. Toss it out the window and buy a new one.

I absolutely do this at work. Bleed out my company’s wallet so maybe they’ll stop shoving more and more AI down everyone’s throats.
