Look at the insane API price that OpenAI has put out, $600 for 1 million tokens?? No way, this price is never realistic for a model with benchmark scores that aren't that much better like o1 and GPT-4.5. It's 40 times the price of Claude 3.7 Sonnet just to rank slightly lower and lose? OpenAI is deliberately doing this – killing two birds with one stone. These two models are primarily intended to serve the chat function on ChatGPT.com, so they're both increasing the value of the $200 ChatGPT Pro subscription and preventing DeepSeek or any other company from cloning or retraining based on o1, avoiding the mistake they made when DeepSeek launched R1, which was almost on par with o1 with a training cost 100 times cheaper. And any OpenAI fanboys who still believe this is a realistic price, it's impossible – OpenAI still offers the $200 Pro subscription while allowing unlimited the use of o1 Pro at $600 per 1 million tokens, no way.If OpenAI's cost to serve o1 Pro is that much, even $200/day for ChatGPT Pro still isn't realistic to serve unlimited o1 Pro usage. Either OpenAI is trying to hide and wait for DeepSeek R2 before release their secret model (like GPT-5 and full o3), but they still have to release something in the meantime, so they're trying to play tricks with DeepSeek to avoid what happened with DeepSeek R1, or OpenAI is genuinely falling behind in the competition. submitted by /u/Own-Entrepreneur-935 |
