> With o3 now public knowledge, imagine how long it’s been churning out new thinking at expert level across every field. OpenAI’s next moat may be the best synthetic training set ever.

Even taking OpenAI and the benchmark authors at their word they said that it is consuming at least tens of dollars per task to hit peak performance, how much would it cost to have it produce a meaningfully large training set?



That's the public API price isn't it?


There is no public API for o3 yet, those are the numbers they revealed in the ARC-AGI announcement. Even if they were public API prices we can't assume they're making a profit on those for as long as they're billions in the red overall every year, its entirely possible that the public API prices are less than what OpenAI is actually paying.
