alt Hacker NewsI wonder how much their revenue really ends up contributes towards covering their costs.
In my mind, they're hardly making any money compared to how much they're spending, and are relying on future modeling and efficiency gains to be able to reduce their costs but are pursuing user growth and engagement almost fully -- the more queries they get, the more data they get, the bigger a data moat they can build.

everyone seems to assume this, but its not like its a company run by dummies, or has dummy investors.
They are obviously making awful lot of revenue.

Inference is almost certainly very profitable.
All the money they keep raising goes to R&D for the next model. But I don't see how they ever get off that treadmill.
