Yes. Maybe much more:
> Such intensive use of AI doesn't come cheap. In a post on X, LisanBench, an LLM benchmark evaluator, estimated that the output tokens alone would cost about $6.5 million at OpenAI's average consumer price. Including the far larger volume of input tokens, the post estimated the total could reach $10 million to $40 million.

That's their API pricing. There's no way they actually paid $15M in compute. I'd say much more likely it's in the order of $1M.
Who are you who is so wise in the ways of a private company's internal cost accounting
But think of all the IPO Monopoly money they just generated.
