Have you heard about Deepseek? In a world were it (and other Chinese open models) didn't exist, OpenAI and Anthropic would be profitable already

How so? The existence of e.g. DeepSeek doesn't lower the cost for OpenAI. OpenAI have almost a billion users, or so they claim. Adding even another billion users isn't going to help them, unless they can keep cost under control.
