gpt-6.1-terra has some pretty crazy economics.

I don't think I am going to try to beat them at this game anymore. I've got a machine in my closet that is both collecting dust and accruing value. A very maddening state of affairs.

At this point, trying to beat a major provider is like running your whole house off grid when the alternative is 12c/kWh that is already wired to the premises. You might win if you make it your only job for years on end and have a very specific lifestyle that is tolerant to weird tail risks (assuming you aren't willing to go back to the grid in an emergency).
