Original post

Always read the fine print: Anthropic is projecting its first (slightly) profitable quarter ever, which is amazing, but this is in no small part because they are getting a one-time (nonrecurring) discount for that quarter from SpaceX on a $2.5B compute bill. That discount may well be bigger than the projected $559M profit. The context matters.
