I pay for Kagi search. This doesn't interest me in the least. They have been breaking down the costs of running their business and justifying their prices, which I'm cool with. If it turns out I'm paying to subsidize this kind of thing, it's not going to work for me anymore. (I don't mean to say it's bad or anything, just I don't care about it. It's an interesting downside of a paid business model. Google can do what…

Would you recommend Kagi search to look up software dev?

Yes.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Openai charges per token of input, a summarizing service where you feed it large amounts of input would have lousy economics.

Isn't the economics of all chatgpt related products just charging more than they paid for use?

Imagine the following scenario:

If you're a wrapper around ChatGPT, summarizing ten thousand tokens costs $100.

If you use an in-house net, it costs you $1 of GPU time.

Is $100 larger than $1? Think it through step by step. Show your work.
