One benefit answer.ai has over some of those labs is that it's building software, so expenses are mostly just salaries and GPU time - no need for massive capex on fabrication equipment or anything like that. And since we're focused on efficient fine-tuning and inference rather than foundation model training, even the GPU spend is likely to be extremely modest compared to some other players :)
