OpenAI has reportedly failed to meet its internal targets for ChatGPT users and revenue, raising concerns about its financial strategy. CFO Sarah Friar warned that rising compute costs could exceed incoming revenue.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, OpenAI did not achieve its goal of one billion weekly active users for ChatGPT by the end of last year. This shortfall has unsettled some investors, as CFO Sarah Friar expressed concerns about ballooning compute costs. Experts suggest that the reliance on human judgment and collaboration remains a significant factor that AI cannot replicate.
