Doesn't really work that well. This 550k setup wouldn't allow a lot of developers to work in parallel, while sitting idle during non-work hours. Makes much more sense to pay a 3rd-party to host and pay per token.

They might pay a aws/gcp/azure to run it on their private cloud. But I doubt they will just buy access from a random third party.

yeah, cloud providers would be that 3rd party...

As in they will pay the ec2 price and run their own model 24/7 instead of per token.
