The developer of an AI-powered driving instruction simulator is spending $1,000 per month just to keep its demo running
The developers of the AI-powered driving simulator 'Teach My Little Sister How To Drive' are spending over $1,000 per day on AI services for its demo due to a surge in players. This high operational cost, driven by LLM token usage, has led the studio to take out a bank loan and consider ending the demo early. The developers plan to account for AI usage in the full game's price but are exploring options like local AI models for players with capable GPUs.
