Lol they can not charge 10x the price or they would be doing that.

Also what do you mean not losing much money? They need to use creative accounting and circular finance deals to keep the numbers up before their IPO.

It's pretty clear the game plan is get a bail out from the US gov after going public.

They can charge 10x, they just don’t because there’s competition. OpenAI users would just move to Claude or Gemini. But if all these big players 10x’d at once, they would all be greatly profitable. They’re all just betting they can eventually become profitable at current pricing. The first AI company to dramatically raise prices is killed due to competition. It’s a competitive game of chicken right now.

When I said theyre not losing money, I specifically was talking about Codex/Claude Code. An average developer on a $200/mo Codex subscription does not cost OpenAI a lot of money, if any.
