How much it costs to run OpenAI's ChatGPT per day

It is not the rumored $3m/day

Good Morning AI Runners

Here's what we've got for you today:

  • How much it costs to run ChatGPT per day (not $3m/day!)

  • Can ChatGPT get monetized?

How much it costs to keep ChatGPT running

ChatGPT is hosted on Microsoft's Azure cloud which currently charges $3 per hour for a single A100 GPU, and each word generated on ChatGPT costs $0.0003.

Considering that ChatGPT's responses typically contain at least 30 words, the cost of each response is at least one cent.

According to estimates posted online, OpenAI spends at least $100K a day or $3 million a month to keep ChatGPT Running.

Here's OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's reply to Elon Musk:

This takes us to our second topic of the day. Can ChatGPT get monetized?

Monetizing ChatGPT

With the CEO of OpenAI describing the computing costs as "eye-watering", they're surely considering monetization.

The question is, how will they do that?

We'll take one easy guess and leave the rest to you.

There are no *links to click* right now but this could be the first attempt at monetizing ChatGPT, embedding ads and links in the responses.

Given the chatbot's high daily usage (1 million+), coupled with its recommendations that are really relevant, it can begin bringing in enough money to cover costs and then some.
