OpenAI Misses Revenue and User Targets as CFO Warns of Unsustainable Compute Costs

OpenAI has fallen short of internal goals including 1 billion weekly ChatGPT users and multiple monthly revenue targets, with market share losses to rivals like Google's Gemini and Anthropic.

The revelations question Sam Altman's aggressive spending, data center expansion, and IPO ambitions.

Why it matters

Stumbles at the AI leader could trigger a competitive shakeup, erode investor confidence in sky-high valuations, and expose risks in the compute arms race.
