   Does anyone actually pay API costs out of their own pocket? It's about 10x cheaper to just get a codex or chat gpt subscription, it's so heavily subsidized compared to the API that I'm sure it would be cheaper to use frontier models on a subscription plan rather than paying API prices for deepseek flash.

      Large enterprises pay per token even through a ChatGPT “membership”, for example.

         Which is why I said "out of their own pocket"
