"def" doing a lot of work here. It is more expensive? yeah Is it "definitely not below cost"? hardly except if as cost here only the inference cost is considered, and not the capital investment, and maintenance costs (not to mention r&d, marketing, and others). to put it another way, if they just had the corporate API subs today, would they be profitable?
