I understand what you're saying, but strictly speaking is it fair to say they aren't profitable? Didn't they along with other participants of LLM-race invest heavily into the infrastructure and the said infra wasn't yet delivered.
My understanding is that it's unreasonable to claim a hotel isn't profitable when they're still on the building stage.
I do understand that we don't have enough energy to turn it on when all of them are delivered, but that's a separate issue.
This has less to do with their balance sheet and more to do with the intent of the organization when it was founded. They were supposed to create open-source AI models and only let revenues influence the direction of the organization so much when weighed against the public good.

Currently, we face lots of churn in our ecosystems. API updates, CVEs that need updates, supply chain compromises - keeping up is getting harder and we need something to help us manage that, get notified and allow us to take action.
This is why I created ChangeSpec, an open standard to communicate software changes.
I'd love to get feedback and work on it together, it's still early but I hope you like it.
Working on a way for us to communicate software changes properly with people, systems and AI.
I'm frustrated at how we just do library updates and get whatever is next. Things break. Finding a changelog sucks. Vendor updates maybe put something in X.
We can do better so I'm starting an open initiative to tackle that.
