Where are AI subscriptions subsidised for enterprise use? Github copilot was the last to drop the subsidised model for big business at the start of the month as far as I can tell. Only individuals and very small businesses are getting subsidised subscriptions now, and it's still super economical and cost efficient to use even frontier models at API billing rates compared to humans.
