Their business is the LLMs. It's like asking if a loaf of bread is expensive, then why don't millers bake bread using their own flour

    Yes, but selling the llms is not profitable either. They are burning through cash at extraordinary rates.

    Even at highly subsidised rates, ai startups can’t make a profitable product. It’s nuts.

    It's not profitable for the mill, yes, but the millers (board members and C-suite) are making Hella bank

    If they were not profitable just selling the flour but saw the potential profitability of baking bread, I'm sure they would. It's just that they are profitable selling the flour so there's no need.
