customers are increasingly asking us for certainty on capacity. as models get better, we expect that the world will be capacity-constrained for some time. we are offering discounted tokens for 1-3 year commits. (it also helps us plan, so hopefully a big win-win.)

we are offering discounted tokens and certainty on capacity availability in exchange for 1-3 year commits. we expect that the world will feel increasingly capacity constrained for the next while, as models continue to get much more useful.

we will offer this until we sell out of our current allocation for this program. (we will make sure to leave enough capacity for ChatGPT, Codex, etc.) we plan to offer it again in the future; our intention remains to build as much compute as fast as we can.

This is the core business model of AWS and other hyperscalers. The only thing missing now for OpenAI is an enterprise SaaS marketplace with third-party services.

they're doing the thing that Anthropic is doing where they count revenue paid up front as part of annualized revenue, give them a few weeks and suddenly OpenAI will be at $45bn in annualized [image]

Honest question: What's to stop a company from buying compute at a discounted rate and then reselling it in some way? How much of a wrapper is needed to avoid getting cut off by OpenAI? Because if anyone can just do this, it strikes me that the biggest buyers will be investors
