not sure if they are very profitable and have no need for additional money, or they are highly unprofitable and require an end to their money bleeding.
Remember the section of the OpenAI Dev Day keynote when Satya Nadella from Microsoft got up on stage? One of the main things he was talking about was providing compute for OpenAI. He mentioned how aggressively OpenAI was pushing forward and that the workloads were unheard of.<p><a href="https://youtu.be/XhLlRS2-BO8?si=cDQEktlWD4RzErD1&t=372" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://youtu.be/XhLlRS2-BO8?si=cDQEktlWD4RzErD1&t=372</a>
I've been watching the interest in ChatGPT and its rivals via Google Trends for a while:<p><a href="https://twitter.com/marekgibney/status/1724712305894600929" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://twitter.com/marekgibney/status/1724712305894600929</a><p>It's fascinating that ChatGPT seems to stand a chance to even surpass Reddit in interest.<p>I wonder what the recent spike for "Bing" means? Is that from their image creator? Or did the chat on Bing take off?
Bottlenecks either because they switched all Plus users to GPT-4 Turbo, which isn't a production model, or that GPT builder is a fine-tuned model of GPT, and needs more bandwidth, or that they actually have reached capacity and need to scale their code to more servers allocated to each GPT-4 Turbo and the fine-tuned builder model.
Maybe one day their inference could be running on photonics hardware!<p>Or imagine for the code analysis they replaced phyton running on kubernetes with wasm engines. would need a small wast to wasm compiler and interfaces for simple io and plotting, but many analytics tasks could probably run much faster.
what do you think about Sam Altman's policy requiring all users of GPTs to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus, not just the developers of GPTs. This requirement applies regardless of whether the Plus features are utilized in the bots' creation? And now he suspends new Plus accounts so people who promoted their GPTs with no promise of ever seeing money from it, cannot even have their audience use it if they wanted to.

I've noticed that ChatGPT (gpt-4) chats have been slower than usual over the last couple of days. Must cost them a fortune to keep this all going.
could equally be because someone is using virtual or stolen credit cards to sign up for millions of accounts.<p>I too would Halt signups if I couldn't stop the flow of such accounts, because they're probably going to end up with a lot of chargebacks
