    This is why I feel places Google/Microsoft/Amazon have the longer term edge. They simply have much longer run ways to get these systems to profitability than say Open AI & Antropic. TheY later are are relying soon to happen IPO money and trying to monetize these systems ASAP, others like Google can subsidize these things for so much longer.
