None of the companies I deal with (~40) are on the API. Some where, but that experiment lasted a month.

Until they go public, we are all just guessing.

CC has such egregious API subsidies that it’s hard to not to leverage it unless the license tells an enterprise otherwise. Love the subsidized pricing while it lasts.

It's hard to tell, honestly - about half the HN population will tell you that all the token providers are running inference at a profit when using the API and only the subscriptions are subsidised, while the other half will tell you that everything, including both the API and the subscriptions, are subsidised (i.e. running at a loss).

Some days I really wish the timing had worked out for me to build a serious private inference server before hardware prices spiked.
