But is OpenAI recouping this? I remember seeing reports a year ago that it was in the realm of $700M/mo in inference costs for them - are they earning that now?

Of course the strategy of taking a loss and reinvesting - but I don't see how OpenAI is making enough money to pay for all this, now or in the future.

It hasn't monetized any of its services. There are currently no ads. And it's not selling user data, well not yet.

That's literally hundreds of billions worth of revenue.

Just look at the options OpenAI has to generate revenue beyond subscriptions.

How would you "see" that, given that OpenAI isn't public?
