ANTHROPIC directional thesis
The model maker's profit margins jumped from 30% to over 72% as demand for its tokens crushes its ability to supply them, and it could double prices and still not lose customers.
“even if you assume all incremental compute they've gotten has gone towards inference, their margins are at a floor of 72%... at the start of the year... 30-something percent gross margins. Where on earth does a business like this grow margins like that?”11:42claim_id
