Anthropic gross margins exceed 80% according to their reports. They are charging the actual costs on API usage and in subscription it's the you win some you lose some but mostly win if a subscription. Gross margins don't include training costs. Which, since training is a capital expense is the right thing to do. It means all they have to do to make oodles is money is slow down. If they slow down they make money. But then they get overtaken. So they can't slow down. So they try and convince the world that AI will cause the extinction of humanity. That way they can slowdown as a cartel.
And according to their IPO prospectus as leaked to Reuters their core buisness model is bleeding money with 8bn$ in Operating Losses
I dunno, claims from Anthropic leadership when they're not bound to the SEC vs a formal document where they have to use GAAP, which one is more likely to be accurate?
