Well again.. you are mixing up inference costs and their other mostly fixed expenses (in addition to sales and marketing)

Is there any indication that if they could sell X * N more tokens than now at the same (or even quite a bit lower) price they wouldn’t become profitable as a company?

> They haven't found a way to sell inference for less than it costs them yet

Based on what? I only see evidence to the contrary.

Based on the money they're spending on compute being less than the money they're getting from customers.

Is there any evidence that’s true? i.e. they are losing money on every additional token they sell?
