> $20/month ChatGPT Pro user: Heavy daily usage but token-limited

ChatGPT Pro is $200/month and Sam Altman already admitted that OpenAI is losing money from Pro subscriptions in January 2025:

"insane thing: we are currently losing money on openai pro subscriptions!

people use it much more than we expected."

Losing money on o1-pro. That makes sense and also why they axed that entire class of models.

Every o1-pro and o1-preview inference was a normal inference times how many replica paths they made.

Are OpenAI and Anthropic losing money on inference?
