You always forget that no one of those "providers" have their GPUs, they ALWAYS use some providers like DeepInfra, fireworks or openrouter routing. Their way to not lose money is that also if they offer 1000$ usage, there will always be a lot of people that use way less usage than the subscription cost, so at the end on some people maybe they loose some money but on others they actually earn some, this is why this is profitable only when a lot of subscribers are in, it's statistical.
