User Rounak shared a screenshot revealing that ChatGPT Works allocated a 16GB RAM, 8-core CPU virtual machine instance.
This occurred after the user asked about the difference between free cash flow and net income for the seventh time, suggesting that the model may invoke higher-compute environments or maintain persistent background states/toolchains when handling repetitive or complex interactions, leading to significant resource consumption.
