OpenAI Projects $20 Billion Revenue for 2025 Amid Aggressive AI Infrastructure Expansion
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has revised the company's revenue projection upward to $20 billion for 2025, a significant leap from September's $13 billion estimate. The artificial intelligence firm anticipates scaling to "hundreds of billions" by 2030, despite currently operating at a loss on its $500 billion valuation.
The company has secured $1.4 trillion in infrastructure commitments to build the data centers required for AI development. CFO Sarah Friar clarified OpenAI's financial independence after earlier comments about potential government support drew criticism. WHITE House AI advisor David Sacks reinforced this position, stating the administration would not backstop private AI ventures.
