AI两大头部企业的盈利路径正面临严峻考验。 据The Information报道，OpenAI与Anthropic均未能达成各自设定的毛利率目标，推理成本的超预期增 长是主要拖累因素。这一财务压力在用户规模持续扩张的背景下尤为突出，引发外界对两家公司能否在 本十年末实现60%以上毛利率目标的质疑。 数据显示，OpenAI去年毛利率从40%降至33%，低于其自身预测的46%；Anthropic方面，毛利率从2024 年的负94%大幅改善，但预计2025年毛利率为40%，仍较此前目标低出10个百分点。两家公司目前均未 面临融资困境，但投资者对其商业模式的可持续性正给予更多审视。 推理成本失控，超出自身预测 OpenAI的毛利率压力还来自其庞大的非付费用户群体。据The Information，OpenAI每周活跃用户约达 9.1亿，其中付费用户占比仅约5%。去年，其总推理成本中近半数（约39亿美元）用于支撑非付费用 户，付费用户对应成本为45亿美元。 产品结构同样是一大因素。OpenAI去年推出的视频生成工具Sora对服务器算力的消耗远高于文本类查 询；其推理模型在计算答案时所需算力也高于传统大语言模型。此外，该 ...

该公司在2023年发布的《负责任扩展政策》中曾表示，将会推迟可能引发危险的AI的研发。但 Anthropic在周二发布的博客文章中，已经更新了规则，称如果公司认为自身相较竞争对手并不具备显 著领先优势，将不再这么做。 多年来一直以相较同行更为注重人工智能安全性的Anthropic PBC，如今已放松了对其"安全护栏"的承 诺。这是AI行业迄今最具戏剧性的政策转向之一，也折射出一批曾经专注于帮助人类的初创公司，正 将注意力转向利润与成功。 Anthropic在文中写道，"政策环境已转向优先考虑AI竞争力与经济增长，而在联邦层面，以安全为导向 的讨论尚未取得实质性的势头。" 这一调整颇令外界意外，因为在与OpenAI、Alphabet旗下谷歌以及埃隆·马斯克的xAI争夺这一被许多人 视为革命性新技术的主导权之际，Anthropic长期以来试图以安全立场将自身与同行区分开。Anthropic 首席执行官Dario Amodei曾在OpenAI任职，离开该公司的部分原因正是担忧OpenAI更为重视商业化和 速度，而非安全性。 两家公司如今都在推动最快于今年上市，以把握投资者对AI的热情。Anthropic近期获得3， ...
