I don't know that OpenAI specifically is the weak link but this definitely adds to the argument that the entire sector is a wash with the same three or four companies passing around the same $50B over and over. OpenAI is just the link that seems most likely to break first.
I've subscribed to a few AI tools for the last 3 years now. I'm someone who almost never subscribes to anything.
I'm sure that $50b has my money in there somewhere.

Inference is profitable. Gross margins are in the 50%+ apparently. This is coming from Anthropic CEO.

If tomorrow Claude pricing changes and they start charging real API costs like 2000+ USD, and there is another service: "NotReallyClaude" that is a bit less good but 200 USD, then what would you do ?
Man, they really got good at hitting that dopamine button, huh?
