If they manage to compete with Anthropic in the enterprise market, are either of them able to reach profitability? To what degree are they subsidizing token usage and how tolerant are enterprise customers of significant price increases?

This is the indication of times ahead. Of AI services shutting down.

The cost must have been a key reason for the shutdown.

End is near.

A bribe to stop thieves from profiting from the Disney's own IP is no longer needed now I guess :)

Safe to assume the US government is now the only one with access?

Disney's involvement with this was always strange. Their business lives and dies on the strength of their characters and their designs - why would you risk allowing a service to dilute them down and maybe misuse them?

May be incompatible with OpenAI possibly becoming more PG-13 rated in the future?

I had thought this would be combined with OpenAI launching a set top box where you could talk to an AI avatar. Disney IP could have been skins to sell people for their AIs.

So what died first? The Disney deal or the Sora app

The thing about Sora is that it becomes outdated very quickly. OpenAI cannot even protect THAT moat properly.
