Subscriptions typically come with a number of credits that refresh every so often. More expensive models use more credits. Subscription use is not "unlimited".
Hence the "as much as the plan allows" in my previous e-mail. I also just find it suspicious that these companies do not openly disclose their energy consumption and emission statistics (which is a hotly debated topic). This makes me think it does not paint them in a good light. Thus, my opinion remains that using LLMs intensively (e.g., as agents) seems to cause significant greenhouse gas emissions. That alone makes its use questionable, but combined with all the other ecological and social factors it is really unacceptable to me. Jaro
