> does still cover marginal inference cost
Simply comparing to the larger models on OpenRouter implies that the pure hosting costs (equipment + power + minimal overhead) still exceed plan pricing if we assume all users always use their full weekly allowance.
So my conclusion is that it only works because the majority of users doen't fully utilize their allowance. Last month I used almost nothing of my Claude 20x plan (did use Codex though).
