At best, this tells you v4.1 flash is profitable, but can they really get $38 per gpu hour? Sounds like a lot.

At best, this tells you v4.1 flash is profitable, but can they really get $38 per gpu hour? Sounds like a lot.
From their own inference framework docs: "A single cluster currently serves 155 trillion tokens per day, with overall revenue of US$38 per GPU-hour (at valley pricing)."

So this implies they actually hit about double that during peak pricing.
If they keep it running at near constant usage, you'd only need 80-120 million tokens an hour to hit 38$ of revenue (at off peak pricing, half as much for peak pricing).
