    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.

      you also didn't click on the link the poster you replied to shared...

      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.

        I'd stick with Google Search until Microsoft figures out how to handle a billion OpenAI requests a day without draining the water supply of entire cities. Because in Chile, for example, people are struggling.
