Yep, I'm skeptical about their inference efficiency, given how much they're scrambling to reduce compute when they're already the most expensive by far (and in my experience not the best quality either).
However we cannot observe these things directly and it could be simply that OpenAI are willing to burn cash harder for now.
This is actual reason. So any investors reading our system card.... write us another check and watch the $$$$$$$$ roll in. It's so dangerous we can't even release it!
