Yeah and soon we'll discover it's because they calculate the cost of inference as near 0 because they use AWS / NVidia / etc. credits that they got "for free" (aka investments from those companies) instead of paying for them, or some other accounting bullshit.
You wanna know the real price? It's easy, just check what AWS, GCP or Azure charge for tokens.
