It's twice as fast/cheap relative to GPT-4-turbo, which is still expensive compared to GPT-3.5-turbo and Claude Haiku.

But may not be better enough to warrant the cost difference. LLM cost econonmics are complicated.

For commercial use at scale, of course cost matters.

For the average Joe programmer like me, GPT4 is already "dirt cheap". My typical monthly bill is $0-3 using it as much as I like.

The one time it was high was when I had it take 90+ hours of Youtube video transcripts, and had it summarize each video according to the format I wanted. It produced about 250 pages of output.

That month I paid $12-13. Well worth it, given the quality of the output. And now it'll be less than $7.

For the average Joe, it's not expensive. Fast food is.
