Of course they are “profitable”, Dario said so last month (if you accept a definition of “profitability” under which every tech startup is profitable by the day they have their first paying customer).
How about the fact that they're not shouting from the rooftops how they're managing to make money in an industry that is currently mostly known as a giant money fire? Instead they're reporting being profitable "after making certain adjustments", which sounds a lot like "not profitable".
Do you have a source for Anthropic being profitable?

Anthropic themselves claim to be profitable, fwiw.
>adjusted operating income
>preliminary, unaudited, and could be revised before the prospectus lands
>Which costs were adjusted out has not been disclosed
>profitability may not hold for the full year
That is a lot of caveats on the "profitability".

Do you have proof of unprofitability?

The fact that Amodei had to invent a new definition of the word “profitable” last month is a strong hint…

If someone gives you one you're just going to say you don't believe it, so why bother?
