$13.5 billion loss in first half of 2025. Somehow also income of $4 billion - sounds fake. So their compute costs are probably around $34 billion per year?

[–] Taldan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The largest cost is going to be building out data centers and buying the chips to fill them. OpenAI has essentially been telling investors they're only losing money for now as they build out infrastructure, but when that's done they'll be making money hand over fist

We have no idea what the compute costs actually are since OpenAI is a private company. It's just a shift in the speculation that it's higher than previously estimated

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 2 points 1 day ago

I was under the impression that the real costs are associated with training the models, in the belief that they'll arrive at a self-improving AI that will explode in functionality and basically become the most valuable asset on the planet, especially for governments and armies. In the meantime, you offer services to users at a loss, in order to gather unique data that isn't open to your competitors.

That's what excuses this level of investment.

There must be... No more gambling with uthah people's money

EDIT : More accurate version with source : There must be an end to speculation with other people's money.
