But aren’t they also burning like $3M or something everyday?

Maybe wishful, but I hope this is to offset the burn rather than make profits. I was worried that they would kill chatGPT because of the burn rate.

> $3M per day

That figure really is eye watering like Sam said. Any chance we might be able to reduce that cost? It must be the power costs right? The hardware is one time cost I assume. Why not power it over renewables?

They don't own the hardware, it's running on Azure

Atm they have somewhat unlimited credit on Azure, how long it will last is hard to say.
