These companies are generally profitable for inference but it does not cover the cost of R&D (training).

If its profitable why are they banning people from using it in systems like claw?

After a quick search it looks like Google is banning some people who are using Antigravity OAuth with OpenClaw as opposed to paying for API access.

I can't find any instance of an API which charges per-token banning users.
