I'm not sure I agree. Beyond the Anthropic world, we see

1. The GitHub Copilot pricing change that started a week ago already change buying decisions.

2. Small name open weight providers selling at what I assume, and hear through grape vine, is a profitable place.

Claude is over priced for what you get, and if headline is true, expensive to run. I do wonder if their API pricing is profitable. That's the word on the street about Big AI, they are making money on the PayGo

By "word on the street" do you mean "word that they are leaking to the press so they get favorable coverage, and based based on opaque and questionable accounting"?

The press is not the channel I hear things through. New media is fundamentally broken right now and you should not use it as a source for quality information.
