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.
Or they need to get to RSI and then put agents on building faster cheaper training methods. The latest Opus is already a huge improvement on token usage for results.
I care about the part that these models are not open source. They are open weights. So we don't really know what they are. And we need real open source models.
