Cost is fixed if you train a model once in several years, if you have to train 3/4 times per year to stay competitive training cost is a thing.

You have to include also failed training sessions and experiments in the math.

There are no official figures but given how fast new models are rolled out, I wouldn't be surprised if neither Anthropic nor OAI manage to cover the full models cost.
