R&D costs don't have to be sustainable.
If the trend of staggering AI performance gains stops, you can afford to cut down on R&D and remain competitive. If it doesn't, you hit AGI and break the world economy - with a hope that it'll break in your favor.

They get to convert that compute to inference compute, pivot their R&D towards "figure out how to make inference cheaper" and leverage all the economies of scale.
