So when I signed up for the ChatGPT Plus plan, it felt like a no-brainer. At $20 a month, I was investing in what I thought was the best AI on the market — a premium experience without the surprises.

Here’s what’s happening under the hood: 📈Where We’re Headed: Model Sizes Are Exploding - GPT-3 had 175 billion parameters - GPT-4 - Possibly over a trillion.  Training those monsters takes weeks on thousands of GPUs - OpenAI, Google, Meta—they’re scaling faster than Moore’s Law can keep up. Inference Costs Are Mounting - Training gets the spotlight, but inference—running the model every time you use AI—is the silent killer.  Millions of users x thousands of queries daily = a processing tsunami. Energy Drain Is Real - Data cent...
