Futurism reports that multiple AI companies, including OpenAI, face severe financial strain in 2022–2024 as infrastructure and inference costs far exceed revenue. OpenAI reportedly lost about $540 million in 2022 and projects up to $5 billion in losses by end of 2024; per-query costs (~$0.36) exceed subscription pricing. The imbalance pressures business models, investors, and pushes pivots toward enterprise, verticals, and open-source.
