I think the main issue I have with the article is that author whole argument is based on 'Qwen wouldn't run at a loss'. But why wouldn't it? Depsite it being a business, there might be a number of arguments why they decide to run without profit for now: from trying to expand the user base, to Chinese government sponsoring Chinese AI business.

Hi, OP here! Even if Qwen wants to run at a loss, why would Together, DeepInfra, SiliconFlow, etc _all_ also want to run at a similar loss?

To capture market.

Nothing differentiates them. Anything they capture is based only on price and when they raise it, they lose it entirely.
