As reported by Bloomberg, in a conversation with reporters, Altman said he is \u2018not well-suited to be the CEO of a public company\u2019, despite overseeing one of the most ambitious infrastructure plans. Altman made the comment during a discussion about OpenAI\u2019s plan to invest \u2018trillions\u2019 of dollars into computing infrastructure. OpenAI CEO also believes that a public listing is outcome of OpenAI\u2019s growth, but shared that he may not be the right choice for the role of a public company CEO.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Altman says he is not as \u201cwell-suited\u201d to be CEO of OpenAI<\/p>\n<p>According to a report by Bloomberg, Sam Altman mentioned that OpneAI is of a path of public offering in the future. He also stressed on the fact that he will not be best suited as the CEO of a public company. \u201cI do think we have to go public someday, probably,\u201d Altman said. But Altman also noted he is not as \u201cwell-suited\u201d to be CEO of a public company.Along with this, Altman also revealed that OpenAI intends to invest trillions of dollars in compute infrastructure to support its AI ambitions. He emphasised that economists might call the plan \u201ccrazy\u201d or \u201creckless,\u201d but insisted the company is forging ahead.\u201cLet us do our thing,\u201d Altman said, adding that OpenAI is working on a novel financial instrument to fund the massive outlay.For those unaware, OpenAI has already involved in the $500 billion Stargate initiative alongside SoftBank and Oracle.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how much ChatGPT\u2019s mobile app has generated for OpenAI to date<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT mobile app has generated $2 billion in global consumer spending since its launch in May 2023, according to a new report from app intelligence provider Appfigures (as seen by TechCrunch). This figure is approximately 30 times the combined lifetime revenue of competing AI mobile apps like Claude, Copilot, and Grok. The analysis shows that the app has earned $1.35 billion so far in 2025, marking a 673% increase from the same period last year. On average, the app is currently generating nearly $193 million per month. That figure is roughly 53 times greater than ChatGPT\u2019s closest competitor, Grok, which has generated about $25.6 million so far this year. Grok\u2019s estimated average monthly consumer spending stands at $3.6 million, or around 1.9% of ChatGPT\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has admitted that he may not be the right person to lead OpenAI, if&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74935,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[256,254,255,64,63,57979,57978,57977,5044,57976,13961,105],"class_list":["post-74934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-ceo-of-openai","tag-chatgpt-mobile-app-revenue","tag-computing-infrastructure","tag-openai","tag-public-company","tag-sam-altman","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74934"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74934\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74935"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
