OpenAI, the leading AI innovator based in San Francisco, does not expect to become cash-flow positive until 2029. The company is currently facing substantial costs in key areas such as chip infrastructure, data centers, and the talent required to power its advanced AI systems.
Despite these challenges, OpenAI’s revenue projections are optimistic. By 2029, the company anticipates surpassing $125 billion in revenue, fueled largely by the success of its paid AI software offerings. This growth is expected to see OpenAI’s revenue more than triple to $12.7 billion by 2025, a significant leap from $3.7 billion in 2024.
