Except the rumors are they subsidize even the inference, not that they have capex in training.

- nl 6mo agoThe maths shows inference is very profitable. Look at how Google/AWS/Azure change the same rates as Anthropic does for running Claude models.
- dvt 6mo agoYou're missing the forest for the trees. Per-token pricing is irrelevant when you're just trying to get shit done. I pay 20 bucks a month for OpenAI, but I use likely $200+ a month of tokens just on the coding (and I'm just looking at the raw tokens, this is ignoring all the harnessing on their end). Even OpenAI has said that they're losing money on the 200-dollar subscriptions[1]. This is not a viable business model. Why do you think they are introducing ads this year[2]?
