The company is pulling in roughly $13 billion in annual revenue, with 70% coming from everyday people paying $20 a month to chat with an AI, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/a169703c-c4df-46d6-a2d3-4184c74bbaf7\" target=\"_blank\">according to the Financial Times<\/a>. That\u2019s pretty wild when you consider ChatGPT has 800 million regular users,  but only 5% are actually paying subscribers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raking in billions though it may be, OpenAI has also committed to spending over $1 trillion over the next decade (yes, trillion). The company has recently locked in deals for more than 26 gigawatts of computing capacity from Oracle, Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom \u2014 infrastructure that\u2019ll cost vastly more than what\u2019s coming in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To bridge this gap, OpenAI is getting creative, reports the FT. A five-year-plan includes exploring government contracts, shopping tools, video services, consumer hardware, and even becoming a computing supplier itself through its Stargate data center project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A growing number of businesses need to math to work out. Some of America\u2019s most valuable companies are now leaning on OpenAI to fulfill major contracts, notes the FT; if OpenAI falters (no pressure!), it could potentially destabilize the broader U.S. market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OpenAI is printing money right now.
