Your whole calculation is also ridiculous - I think you assumed what revenue per month is required to pay off hardware within a year? Why would I use hardware within a year?
I would suggest consulting with ChatGPT and coming up with a better and more coherent argument.
I try to do some napkin math of what it takes to start a company serving an LLM to customers. I thought maybe 10,000 users sounded like a reasonable number.
I'd like also to compare it to traditional Internet companies, e.g. Twitter. I'd guess Twitter with 10k users would cost me literally a dumpster dive, so essentially no cost.
If I were to start an LLM company, what would my initial investment look like?
Turns out around 15+ million dollars assuming I would get 10,000 users willing to pay 200$/month.
>The "$25k per month" figure is almost certainly the result of ChatGPT making assumptions, not a fact derived from any known business model.
