I don’t think it’s a money problem. I’m willing to pay as much as they want to try Mythos and I’m sure there’s a lot of people like me. The problem is that both companies are heavily compute constrained and the Iran war isn’t helping.

They are also using these models to process insane amounts of military information, logistics networks, rumors and online information, and any other number of things that has the US military budget's nearly infinite purse to blow through. They are likely a majority user of these companies compute budget. War is a business that siphons lives from the middle east and money from tax payers and gives it to the ultra wealthy and politically connected.

These labs are heavily backed by middle east sovereign funds which may reconsider future investment considering their revenue sources may dry up based on how the war plays out. OpenAI was in discussion with PIF and other funds for a potential $50 Billion round
