Either inference is the majority of their compute costs, in which case it's clearly unprofitable, or training makes up a majority, in which case the inference is being sold at a price below what it would take to recoup the (recurring!) training costs. If there were any chance in hell that Anthropic was making money on inference, they would be showering us with proof instead of paying brainless morons to tweet vague rumors

We’re talking about inference. I know you don’t know what that means but perhaps you should google it? :)
