CEO Sam Altman acknowledged that OpenAI is currently losing money on ChatGPT Pro subscriptions due to unexpectedly high usage, leading to high operational costs.
The AI infrastructure requires an enormous amount of electricity and resources, making it increasingly difficult to maintain profitability as advanced models become more expensive to operate.
Analysts estimate that OpenAI spends about $700,000 daily just to run ChatGPT, translating to a significant cost per query, highlighting the financial struggle.
Despite having around 10 million paying subscribers, OpenAI is burning through cash, with projections of a $5 billion loss in 2024 against $3.7 billion in revenue.
