On April 28, The Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI has recently fallen short of two key objectives: reaching 1 billion weekly active users and meeting its pre-established revenue goals. With growth momentum weakening, concerns have mounted within the company’s leadership. Sources indicate that Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar has cautioned management that if revenue expansion remains stagnant, OpenAI may struggle to cover the financial commitments of upcoming computing power procurement agreements. In response, the board has tightened oversight of data center collaboration initiatives and begun questioning CEO Sam Altman’s strategy of aggressively scaling computing resources.
