Not sure why you didn’t bother to check their pricing page (1) before dismissing my point. They are charging significantly more for both input (3x) and output (4x) tokens when using o1.

Per 1M in/out tokens:

GPT4o - 5$/15$

O1-preview - 15$/60$

My point is that "cost fairness" is not a thing. Either o1 is worth it to you or it isn't.

If there's a high premium, then one might want to wait for a year or two for the premium to vanish.

It’s really unclear to me what you understood by “cost fairness”.

I’m saying if you charge me per brick laid, but you can’t show me how many bricks were laid, nor can I calculate how many should have been laid - how do I trust your invoice?

Note: The reason I say all this is because OpenAI is simultaneously flailing for funding, while being inherently unprofitable as it continues to boil the ocean searching for strawberries.

Eh it’s not worth it to me because it’s unfair.
