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?

AISO Market Calls classifies public statements from public sources. A classification such as long thesis, short thesis, or explicit call describes the content of the public statement and does not prove that the speaker actually entered, exited, or held a position. Market performance shown is calculated from public market data around the source publication or timestamp. It is not investment advice.
