    “Inference is not typically run at a loss”

    Bro thats called cherry picking

    Businesses work on cash in cash out

    Right now AI companies make way less cash than they spend overall when you dont include investments

    Furthermore, most people use a free version of AI and would stop using it if it cost them anything

    Explain how to pivot to profit when the investments dry up, were all waiting

      I’m not saying they’re healthy, I’m saying that inference is the one profitable part of their business.

      They’re all going to die because training costs dwarf the inference, and training doesn’t generate ANY revenue.

      Do companies tend to use the free version too?
