They have a ton of revenue and high gross margins. They burn billions because they need to keep training ever better models until the market slows and competition consolidates.

The market always consolidates when it matures. Every time. The market always consolidates into 2-3 big players. Often a duopoly. OpenAI is trying to be one of the two or three companies left standing.
