I'm curious how your COGS (cost of goods sold) are going to line up with the one time payment/lifelong subscription model.

ML Inference is pretty expensive in my experience - it's not clear to me whether you're running models yourself or paying someone like openai to do so, but either way GPUs aren't cheap




We ran a token model for some time for precisely this reason, but came to the realization that the costs were comparatively low. We use OpenAI in the background.


Fair, for what it's worth I think the one off model is better for the consumer so if you can make the numbers work that's great!
