Ask HN: Do you know any company that's making money with LLMs?

4 points by camillomiller ↗ HN
I am an LLM-skeptic: I think it’s an insanely good technology, propped up by the most egregious financial scam of all time. I would be open to be proven wrong though, so please: can anyone point at decent, profit making implementations of LLMs in companies? Can you point at a fully automated saas that’s actually turning a real relevant profit? No, the promises of future profits don’t count. And no, the companies profiting from selling shovels to gold rushers also don’t count. Thanks

I mean we run https://ziva.sh, and take a margin on the tokens we sell and make a profit. It's not 80% margins like regular SaaS, but we provide a good service and the users are content

As I know Cursor finally has some gross margin profitability after they introduces their own Composer model.

I think the biggest reason why most products and LLM provides still in negative because they are in the inception phase and trying to extend their market share.

Kind of similar to Uber when they spent huge amount of money to conquer new markets and increase their market share.

I think in the near future we will see significant increase of prices for tokens
