compare that to the cost of running the DeepSeek model on comparable hardware (because it is open weight).

What?

You can’t compare the cost of running a model at home to the cost of running a model operationally as a business.

Or at least nobody should take that comparison seriously.

If OpenAI/Anthropic are selling at a loss

Why the If, we know they are running at huge losses.

Honestly this level of poster analysis is why clankers are able to impress people, everyone has just accepted full bullshit all of the time and nobody is willing to admit the unknowns are significant and the numbers we are being presented are largely unverified/unverifiable!

Sure but comparing what companies in an industry full of losers make, is pretty meaningless as we don’t know how much companies are losing right now.

This doesn’t mean much they could just be losing 50% more money than their competitors.
