OpenAI's computing chief to leave amid $750 billion infrastructure plan

OpenAI projects $278 billion cash burn through 2030 despite 10x revenue growth

A financial presentation seen by the Financial Times shows OpenAI expects to spend $278 billion more than it earns between 2026 and 2030, driven mainly by $856 billion in compute and infrastructure costs. Even as revenue is projected to jump from $36 billion in 2026 to $350 billion in 2030, spending will still outstrip income by a wide margin. The figures were reportedly shared with investors ahead of OpenAI's anticipated IPO.
