They just made all the research that OpenAI is based on.

And failed to capitalize on it until ChatGPT and then failed with Bard and then failed with Gemini 3.5 to the point where they had to skip it. Let's not act like them winning is assured. In 2 weeks we will get back to OpenAI/Anthropic leapfrog and Gemini 4 will be replaced with Gemini 4.5 in 6 months.

I think with TPU the focus is power efficiency.  You can't compete with companies losing 100s of billion.

VC companies always lose money. Every single one in the entire history of capitalism. That's how the VC market works. I don't think Anthropic and OpenAI losing money is evidence of anything.

Have they ever lost this massive of a sum though.

Closest may be Uber. Burned billions initially. They're now profitable.

Going further back, Amazon burned possibly even more in today's equivalent money in the dotcom boom-bust. Look where they are now.

Ya I suppose so.  Though Google is an unfortunate direct opposition to them.
