Never say never. When the free money party stops, then those token costs are going to have to go up and up. The fact there’s such a glaring disparity between the cost of running AI locally and the pennies it costs to use an online model shows how heavily funded those platforms are right now. This is not and cannot be sustainable. |

The Openrouter providers the GP referenced were never at the "free money party". The actual cost of running something like GLM5.2 is well understood and tokens from those providers are not sold at a loss.
Obviously running things locally is more expensive but that all comes down to economies of scale. GLM5.2 is as expensive as it will ever be, barring an increase in demand that forces/allows providers to realise windfall gains disconnected from their underlying costs (always possible, but not the point).
