Not to mention the API plans are also still in their "lose money, just get the suckers hooked like addicts" phase. Once the reality-based pricing comes into play, it's a coin flip of whether the bulk of the companies fail, or they get to live off government subsidies for a few decades.

On the plus side, I'm happy I'll have a nice hay barn when the local half-built AI data center is abandoned.

I believe that API pricing runs at a healthy margin, at least compared to the server and energy costs used to serve the tokens.
