alt Hacker News830t/s is burst aggregate. ~500 is sustained and it's for 8 concurrent users. Meaning for $1.99/hour if you serve 8 users it's 8*$0.54, not just $0.54.
You shouldn't rent one out if you're just serving it for yourself, but from a financial standpoint if you sell to users you can take a 100% margin.
Bro 500 Aggregate. so that's 500 * 60 * 60 = 1.8M output which is .5$ at best... Not including pre-fill and stuff.
This is not the real margins, even if you are selling to 8 users it's 90 tps per median stream. So assuming that .6-.7$
This is not even remotely worth it.
You need to 3x this tps(~1500 tps) to be worth it, and that's what most providers are doing, at 20-30 users at 50-60 tps with better optimized batch processing and kernels you can make some profit.
