(analysts say ChatGPT costs US $700000 per day) Science and Technology Innovation Board Daily, 21, Dylan Patel, chief analyst of chip industry research firm SemiAnalysis, said that because ChatGPT runs on expensive computing infrastructure, OpenAI may invest as much as $700000 a day to run ChatGPT. Patel points out that ChatGPT needs a lot of math to provide feedback based on users' input, including writing cover letters, generating teaching plans, and helping users optimize their profiles. He says most of the cost comes from expensive servers.
