Of course the cost isn’t near zero, but is the pricing “at Microsoft’s cost”? If it is, then them building a datacenter wouldn’t save anything, plus would have enormous expenses related to, well, building, maintaining, and continuously upgrading data centers.

Good point. I updated the assumption accordingly. I assume the cost of using Azure cloud after discount but before the credit will be on par with Azure's big customers. And given the scale of OAI, I suspect that the only way to be profitable is to have their own infra.
