If this is mostly competition enduced, I have to assume either their usage has plummeted or they will implode financially in short order.

The frontier labs were already burning money on more expensive price models, and competition wouldn't have reduced their capex proportionately.

How could they do anything but implode financially? Genuinely curious. The numbers are not right.

That's why Anthropic are rushing the IPO. You can explain a single quarter slowdown, you can not explain a multi quarter one.

They are too big to implode.

If we assume it's due to competition, then their usage has precisely not plummeted because they cut prices by 80%.
