On November 1, reports surfaced indicating that "Artificial Intelligence" and "AI" have become ubiquitous buzzwords within the tech sector. OpenAI, with its renowned ChatGPT platform, has emerged as a central player in this domain. Yet, a closer look at its financial health reveals a starkly different picture: the company is not only far from profitable but is also hemorrhaging cash at an alarming rate. According to the financial report for the first half of 2025, OpenAI raked in $4.3 billion in revenue. However, this was overshadowed by a staggering $13.5 billion in losses. Breaking down the expenses, research and development costs soared to $6.7 billion, while marketing and stock-based compensation expenses also saw significant hikes. The company anticipates that its annual cash burn will hit $8.5 billion, with the cumulative cash burn potentially skyrocketing to $115 billion by 2029. Despite experiencing rapid revenue growth, the exorbitant costs and unrelenting capital consumption have sparked concerns among investors regarding OpenAI's long-term financial viability. To bolster its computational infrastructure and advance model development, OpenAI intends to rely on large-scale financing and investments from partners. Nevertheless, the question of whether its business model can ultimately turn a profit remains shrouded in uncertainty.
