What does Copy.ai's cost structure look like, and is OpenAI the largest cost driver?

Chris Lu

Co-founder at Copy.ai

Well, people are the biggest cost for our business, and then OpenAI is second because it's a core component of our business. Next biggest cost is probably the infrastructure of just running everything.

Training models is actually really cheap now. Even with the amount of data that we have, it’s actually a drop in the bucket compared to the APIs we run in production.

OpenAI has the best models. That's not necessarily always true because other providers are now allowing fine tuning and we just have a really, really large amount of really high quality data that we can draw from, so we can actually fine tune a lot smaller models to do really well.
