Part 9/11:
Despite its technological advancements, OpenAI faces significant financial challenges. The company is projected to lose around $5 billion this year, primarily because training and maintaining advanced AI models like ChatGPT requires immense computational power—using expensive supercomputers—and substantial human resources.
While ChatGPT generates some revenue—estimated around $100 million to $200 million annually—it falls drastically short of covering open AI's costs. Microsoft has been providing subsidies to support OpenAI’s research efforts, but the company's long-term business model remains uncertain. The primary focus on research and development continues to be costly, and monetizing these advanced AI tools effectively is an ongoing challenge.
