That doesn’t make any sense, it doesn’t add up. Have you seen how much money they’re raising and burning? We know that training does not cost tens of billions.
Brockman said OpenAI expects to spend $50 billion on compute this year. OpenAI’s revenue run rate is less than $50 billion for this year! For 90% margins to be possible on inference, you are suggesting that less than $5 billion of that compute spend is inference and over $45 billion of that compute is training.
Anthropic have been desperately trying to juggle capacity by shaping user behavior through peak time usage limits because they are struggling with capacity for inference.
Plan based usage is widely acknowledged to be subsidized, you are probably the only person on earth suggesting that plans are profitable.
