OpenAI is expected to burn $220 billion in cash flow through 2029 until they hopefully reach profitability in 2030.

The OpenAI can show investors that a large group of people are willing to pay a recurring subscription fee for their services, it is a good indication that there may be a path to profitability in the future.

Big investors can keep justifying the money they spend on OpenAI AI so long as their investors see the potential for the technology, or at the very least see the opportunity for the hype to generate some a return on their investment as they sell their stake off to the next person in line.

OpenAI's operational performance and funding prospects are far worse than they want people to believe.

OpenAI is burning billions of dollars every month on top of trillions of dollars in future spending commitments with no clear answer for how it's going to get that money.

OpenAI is preparing for an IPO later in 2026.
