alt Hacker News> If I had been paying API pricing it would have been $2,180.16
The point being made above is that API pricing is calculated... somehow... seemingly arbitrarily. Possibly untethered to the infrastructure costs entirely: which would be the basis of any 'value', however that holds the labor theory of value, which isn't accurate either. So how do you accurately price these tokens at all (other than through price-discovery: which is slow, messy and fuzzy)?

Like anything else in the economy: at the point where enough customers can pay you, and not enough will go to the cheaper competition.
