Gergely Orosz reports his new search site Jev used 1M+ tokens at $0.00 cost; an LLM API would have charged $3-5. Jev prices per billion tokens. Hanchung Lee adds the math: BERT-era inference (16k tokens per batch, <50ms latency, 325k tokens/sec) amortizes to near-zero, explaining why the product spreads virally for free.
