OpenAI Prioritizes Projects Amid Compute Shortage
On April 2, 2026, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar said the company is turning down opportunities this year because a compute shortage is constraining its ability to train and run models. President Greg Brockman echoed the pressure, saying OpenAI is prioritizing core revenue-generating products, has pulled back initiatives like the Sora video app, and recently raised about $122 billion while serving roughly 900 million consumers and over 1 million businesses.
