>if a third party can run them at profit right now, they'll be able to do that in the future.
I don't like that I have to spell everything out WHILE playing devil's advocate. This does not follow at all. They have training costs to recoup and if they don't keep pace they will fall behind. If they fall behind, Anthrobbicc would be able raise prices to e.g. $40 for pro, maybe $100
barrier to entry for writing code and not publishing it under your own name was virtually zero (compared to having a different identity anyway of course) and now is not.

@WandererUber@poa.st but the open models are trained already, there's no more cost. i'm not talking about anthropic and openai and who ever trains. the open models are profitable right now. if the trainers go bankrupt, well, that's sad, but inference still stays profitable.
