A 545% profit margin sounds like a misunderstanding—profit margin is calculated as profit/revenue, so it can’t exceed 100%. What’s likely happening here is cost asymmetry: DeepSeek may have minimal infrastructure costs because it’s leveraging pretrained models and/or government-subsidised compute in China, while OpenAI is burning billions training frontier models.
