Anthropic said their inference is cash positive. I would be very surprised if this isn't the norm.

  I would be surprised if they are being honest.

    I'd be more surprised if they didn't know their own business costs.

      There's an accounting question of whether they count free tier inference as COGS or marketing.

    Aren't they taking investor money? It would be a huge scandal if they're lying?

  As if inference exists in a bubble. Driving a car from point A to point B costs $0, as long as you exclude the cost of the car or the fuel you purchased before you were at point A.

  I believe that, equally it's so unverifiable that it's a point of faith. I'm not suggesting it's an outright lie, but rather it's easy to massage the costs to make it look true even if it isnt. Eg does GPU cost go into inference cost or not?
