How will they continue to operate into the future with those kinds of losses? More rounds of funding? Loans? Charge more? Most companies with losses that big would be bankrupt, e.g. GM in 2009.

Inference is super cheap, and getting progressively cheaper.

Greenlighting training a new foundation model is very expensive, but is also a human decision that can be postponed based on available capital.
