A 545% profit margin sounds like a misunderstandingโ€”profit margin is calculated as profit/revenue, so it canโ€™t exceed 100%. Whatโ€™s likely happening here is cost asymmetry: DeepSeek may have minimal infrastructure costs because itโ€™s leveraging pretrained models and/or government-subsidised compute in China, while OpenAI is burning billions training frontier models.
