Your reply doesn't seem to be in good faith. Please provide your formula for calculating effective per token cost.

I am not sure why the small team argument is relevant. This is a crowded market, there are dozens if hundreds of third party inference providers in the world right now. I'm glad that's a good excuse that works on you but I'm not sure why the average user should care.

The formula is very easy. Go to the website of neuralwatt, and read ... 5$ = 1Kwh in power for non-subscription usage. For subscription usage you get ~50% more.

Then you actually use the service and see how much tokens you use on average. You calculate the token use vs what you pay. And this gives you a stable number to compare different services and model with, if you want the token cost. This is basic school level reasoning and calculation.

This is relevant to the previous poster his question regarding support and SLA/enterprise support.

Question: Do you have a issue with communicating with other people in real life?

The irony of questioning someone's communication skills immediately after this exchange is hard to miss.
Just asking because it seems there is a issue given your tone and responses. This is out of concern...
