This idea was most recently floated by Thibault Sottiaux at OpenAI: [Twitter, archive]

I am increasingly asked during candidate interviews how much dedicated inference compute they will have to build with Codex.

Aren't these candidates asking about token budgets for doing their job? This has nothing to do with compensation...
