> My main concern is that OpenAI might be running this at a loss, making a price increase likely.

Their goal is explicitly to only reduce the prices of all of their models over time. If the increase the prices of any of their models, something would've gone very wrong or they would've made a major strategy change. I've read pretty much everything OpenAI's published and talked about, and they've been consistent in mentioning they want to continually reduce the price of models.

Thanks. I did an (admittedly quick) search to confirm this but didn't find anything. Do you have a reference by any chance?

I wish I could find the quote. It was something like:

"You gotta assume we're going to keep making the models better and faster and cheaper." (My memory of an old interview)

There was also this from a recently deleted blog post:

"Cheaper and faster GPT-4 — This is their top priority. In general, OpenAI’s aim is to drive “the cost of intelligence” down as far as possible and so they will work hard to continue to reduce the cost of the APIs over time." (Now deleted blog post from earlier this week)
