How much does ChatGPT cost OpenAI to run? Spoiler: It's a lot

ChatGPT has become useful for just about everything, whether it's updating your CV, writing copy, or getting advice.

However, while it's currently free for most users, the AI platform could be costing its creators, OpenAI, around $70,000 per day.

300 Microsoft employees are now reportedly working on the chip, which could be released as early as next year.
