If they shut down all training today they’d be absolutely printing money for the next couple quarters and then die with a bang once the other lab releases the next frontier to the public.

How? They're already burning $2 bills to make $1, court documents shown that Anthropic has already been lying around revenue (claimed to have made $19 billion when it's actually $5 billion to date [1]).

Not hard to believe they're lying about other things when they've been lying about the capability of their products since inception.

Try doing some inference with local models.

I'd be surprised if they're making money on inference just from that. There's no way someone paying $20 p/m and using it all day is not spending way more on even just the electricity for tokens, let alone the capex.

I don't really get the last bit. It's hard to imagine what a new fangled "frontier model" could do that would blow anyone out of the water. Like what does this look like? Really good benchmarks? Who cares about that anymore?
