Because of the ongoing training costs. They are certainly making a healthy profit margin on inference.

Never really a sound argument.

It's like having new solar panels installed every week. Sure you're "profitable" on the $0.20/kWh you're selling your "free" energy at when you ignore the cost of the solar panels you're buying every week.

  • It is a sound argument in the context of trying to estimate what it costs them to generate this specific output. They have training cost eather way.
