For free? How's that possible when one AI prompt uses 10x more energy than a Google search [1]?

      You didn't click on the link I shared. I'm talking about the cost to produce the response, not the request. One AI prompt uses around 10 times more CPU and energy than a Google search.

      If ChatGPT handles 1 billion queries a day, that's like the energy cost of 10 billion Google searches every single day.

      Someone has to pay the electricity bill. We all know it's not free like you claim.

        seconding openrouter and fal, having to muck around with idiosyncrasies of each vendor just to try their "bestest model" and find out it does not satisfy your requirements is a chore.
