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.) https://t.co/IEQQeumWnT
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.
token — The chunk of text a model reads and writes in — roughly three-quarters of a word — and the unit AI usage is billed in.
Why it matters
Commit pricing combined with an explicitly finite allocation signals that capacity, not capability, is the near-term constraint, and that reserved tokenThe chunk of text a model reads and writes in — roughly three-quarters of a word — and the unit AI usage is billed in.Full definition → now cost less than spot demand later.
