I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.

OpenAI's o3 model, initially estimated to cost around $3,000 per ARC-AGI problem, may actually cost approximately $30,000 per task, according to the Arc Prize Foundation. This revision highlights the high expenses associated with advanced AI models. OpenAI has not yet released or priced o3, but its o1-pro model pricing is considered a reasonable comparison. The o3 high configuration reportedly used 172 times more computing resources than the lowest configuration. There are also rumors of high pricing plans for enterprise customers, potentially reaching $20,000 per month for specialized AI agents.
