OpenAI will focus on 'practical adoption' of AI in 2026, CFO says
"There are signs the startup is already taking advantage of these opportunities. Data from Ramp showed that business spending on OpenAI models surged to a record in December, outpacing rivals Anthropic and Google. Still, some investors and analysts are concerned about OpenAI's huge financial commitments and whether the startup will generate enough revenue to make a profit in future years. For example, OpenAI has announced roughly $1.4 trillion in infrastructure deals, such as data centers, in the past year or so."
"Friar addressed concern about OpenAI's finances in her recent blog, noting that revenue has grown in sync with compute availability. OpenAI's compute expanded from 0.2 gigawatts in 2023 to about 1.9 GW last year. Meanwhile, annualized revenue grew from $2 billion to more than $20 billion in the same period, Friar disclosed."
"The priority is closing the gap between what AI now makes possible and how people, companies, and countries are using it day to day,"
OpenAI plans to emphasize practical adoption of AI in 2026 to close the gap between AI capabilities and everyday use by people, companies, and countries. Priority markets include health, science, and enterprise where improved intelligence can yield better outcomes. Business spending on OpenAI models surged to a December record, outpacing Anthropic and Google. Concerns exist about large infrastructure commitments totaling roughly $1.4 trillion and potential effects on future profitability. Advertising will be tested as a new revenue channel. Compute capacity rose from 0.2 GW in 2023 to about 1.9 GW, while annualized revenue grew from $2 billion to over $20 billion.
