10 days agoI wonder how many unique searches they do per day.
If you search something that someone else already searched recently, the AI response will pop up almost immediately due to caching. I can’t imagine that brings several billion down to a more manageable number though.
I firmly believe OpenAI, Anthropic, etc., will all eventually collapse under their own weight, meanwhile open weight distillations of their models will become the de facto standard for AI usage. There’s just no way they can ever make up all the money they’ve burned in R&D, especially when distillations are right behind them.
