Sorry, I don't like corporate propaganda I guess?

The vast majority of training effort is R&D. The only "ongoing" operating cost to train models is to apply known techniques on more recent information. Aside from not receiving the newest information, which tools like web search mitigate, a model trained once is... as bad of a model as will ever exist. In other words, inference profitability becomes a good measure of viability at that stage.

Sure, and shit tons of compute which is more expensive than inference.

Inference costs literally take into account the cost of the hardware and infrastructure
