How are the margins 50%+?

There's an article from today where if they double their current revenue to $10.9B they will make ~$500M profit. Maybe I just can't count, but that's a margin of ~5% no?

These numbers should be inference only: https://www.reuters.com/business/anthropic-nears-first-quart...

gross margin doesnt include opex, capex, overhead etc
On second thought, is this the reason anthropic is making these gigantic deals (1.2T to xAI, 200B to Google, >100B to AWS, 30B to Azure)? Is it just so that they can claim this is an amortized cost rather than a monthly reccuring operating cost?
