LLM subscriptions are heavily subsidized. I’d be surprised if Claude 20x costed the same after a decade.

Inference prices are going only down. It could be that some top subscription costs more in a decade, but I fully believe a full array of competent models will be extremely cheap.

The inference is profitable. It’s the training which is really expensive and not being reflected in the subscription prices.

Doesn't deepseek make $38 per GPU-hour? As in they can actually serve profitably?

Deepseek doesn't have subscriptions, you can only pay per token / API prices.

Yes but the API prices are very low. So much that it is hard to spend over 20 dollars per month as an individual no matter how much you use it.

How are their API prices compared to others?
