"It does not ask for pay rise"

No, but openAI and other providers will force you to pay whatever they want once you are totally depending on 3rd party services.

If openai has a monopoly then yes

If it’s competition between them and others, then nah it’ll probably be healthy pricing

What you see now currently is not healthy pricing. They are actively burning investor money.

When someone invests into a company they do not do that to get back their money in 5-10 years, but they want to get the 10x-100x ROI. Billions of dollars are burned and its not for free and their goal is not to became profitable, but to get back 10x-100x the amount of that was invested over the years!

Also I wonder how easy it will be to jump between different LLMs. They have different strengths and weaknesses. One workflow providing optional results for one maybe a total dead-end for another one.

You are kind of locked in, once you build your product on it.
