ChatGPT costs and claims: every figure from a sentence that names it
6 of the 629 figures in these field notes come from a sentence that names ChatGPT. Each one is quoted verbatim from the write-up it appeared in, with the day that write-up went out.
Some of these are about ChatGPT and some only measure against it — a competitor’s price quoted next to ChatGPT’s belongs here too, because that is the sentence someone searching for the comparison is looking for. The sentence tells you which is which.
This is not a ChatGPT price sheet. Nothing here is read off a vendor page. These are figures a working developer wrote down, and the date is the day the piece was published — not the day the price was in force. Model prices move fast: read every row as of its own date, and treat an old one as a lead rather than a quote.
