As questions swirl about whether super-cheap-yet-high-quality Chinese artificial intelligence threatens American-made AI, a new data point suggests OpenAI has some major advantages, relative to its compatriots.We reported Tuesday that OpenAI leaders recently made comments implying that ChatGPT Pro subscriptions—which cost $200 per month, or 10 times more than regular subscriptions—are currently generating at least $25 million in revenue per month, or at least $300 million on an annual basis.

Distillation involves the student model... Read more ›
