Gross Margin
A financial metric measuring profitability after direct costs are deducted from revenue. At AI model companies, a distinction must be drawn between training compute costs (capital) and inference compute costs (recurring).

For AI companies, inference costs go directly into cost of goods sold, which depresses gross margin and in turn depresses LTV.
With $16 billion in revenue against $9 billion in compute spending, Anthropic's gross margin is quite substantial, as the price at which it sells tokens is higher than the cost of generating them.
