I don't think that's accurate. They're within the range of profitability on inference today and that's before theyve started selling ads.

On what basis do you say they're within the range of profitability on inference today? Every source I see paints a different story based on their own bias.
Ed Zitron has a bias and a narrative differing from OpenAI's bias and narrative: https://www.wheresyoured.at/oai_docs/
Sam Altman said they were.
Your article has 5 billion in inference cost vs 4.5 billion in revenue. That's within the range of becoming profitable.
You seem to have misread the article (which is not mine by the way), which makes the point that inference costs and revenue seem to scale with each other.
