Earlier quoted context omitted.

I wouldn’t assume those $10/mo gaming services are profitable. It’s not that running in the cloud is more expensive. It’s that people already have a $2000 laptop or maybe even $1600 RTX 4090. If I’ve got that I don’t want to pay $20/month to 6 different AI services. Sam Altman said ChatGPT costs like 2 cents per message. I’m sure they can get that way down. Their bills are astronomical. But the data they’re collectin…

If I try to pencil it out, $10/mo seems maybe doable at 10% utilization and downright lucrative at 1%.

Many users will use the service at once though, not evenly distributed ... so you might wanna overprovision. Which is basically what you dont wanna do - profitability is reached by underprovisioning.

Thinking the next logical step - chatgpt at edge - could be even more useful. Though I guess that still has the underlying limitation of compute shortage so could take a while

There's a huge difference between diffusion models that were built to be run on commodity hardware and the huge autoregressive models like GPT. You can't even run GPT3 on the cloud without some specialized interconnect.

How do you know this? Not doubting you just curious. I've always been curious about requirements or size of GPT3 because Eluether's GPT-X 20B takes like 40GB VRAM to run and I think it is the closest analogue to GPT-3

Do you have a GPU? Run it locally, it's really easy.

Oh I didn't know I could do that, thanks. Yes I have a GPU. I'm on the M1 Macbook Pro.

Absolute easiest way for you is gonna be this one then: https://diffusionbee.com

I think a standard model is not very useful. We are doing similar but with your own custom model as an api https://88stacks.com I do like their real-time api though and we are moving towards that as well. It just costs a lot more to do in real-time.

You should pick some better examples on your homepage. This looks completely laughable compared to anything you can get from MidJourney on your very first attempt (it's amazing with cars):

Saw a great toot yesterday. Startups and media business are looking to make a windfall on AI generated art, music, code, writing, and other services. The payment models will be subscriptions, pay per use, and other models that make more money the more content is produced. But there's still no AI (with associated mechanics) that can fold laundry. (I think the latter would be really useful.)

I was impressed with FoldiMate's approach here and really liked the CEO, Gal, but unfortunately the founder foundered and FoldiMate folded, mate.

I think for an AI generation service this problem is actually more solvable than usual. You can slow down how fast the results are returned, which will slow down the demand. Charge more for a higher tier that gets prioritized. People are going to be a somewhat bothered if the result takes 10 seconds instead of 1 second, but it’s not the end of the world if it’s a rare event. If Netflix can’t keep up with demand and your video spends half the time buffering that would be a worse failure mode.

Dumb question.. can you only generate images of bunnies?

No. You can change the wording in url of the example images [0] from 'rabbit' to something else and it will generate for you on the fly [0] https://bunnynet-avatars.b-cdn.net/.ai/img/dalle-256/avatar/...

Also, remove avatar.

From Wikipedia:

FoldiMate was a California-based company developing a robotic laundry-folding machine founded in 2012. Their clothes folding machine was aimed to enter the market by the end of 2019. *In 2021, the company folded*.

Emphasis is mine. Great Pun!
