What multiple of the current cost do you expect? Currently, GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT for Business cost $19/month and €29/month respectively. Even a 10×–20× increase will still be economically viable in a professional setting if the tools continue to save hours of work.
These tools (e.g. Chatgpt pro) lose money at $200/month
So expect, maybe, $1000 a month? Until your business is dependant on these LLMs. Then they can extract basically all your margin lol
At a $1,000/month price point, wouldn't the economics start favoring buying GPUs and running local LLMs? Even if they're weaker, local models can still cover enough use cases to justify the switch.
Claude max is like $100/mo, and if you’re a daily user you’re likely going to need max
Remember when Uber was cheap and showed you the surge pricing multiple?
