    “Permanently” lol it’s a subscription and the terms say they can change the price at any time. How is it legal for them to advertise with the word “permanent”?

      It’s actually API access price, and it’s charged per input + output tokens. $0.87 per million tokens is damn cheap.

      They probably have super cheap electricity and it’s possible they use cheap Chinese Ai chips for inference.

      I think it’s meant to convey that it’s not a temporary deal on the old price, but a permanent new price point.

        What is the effective difference? It’s not like they’re offering long term contracts.
