‘Willing to run the loss’ after GPT-5 launch

Openai CEO Sam Altman said on Friday that the artificial intelligence company should give priority to growth and training and “long -term” calculation investments.

Last year, Openai expected about $ 5 billion damage to generate $ 3.7 billion. Openai’s annual repetition income will now exceed 20 billion dollars this year, but the company is still losing money.

“As long as we become better and better in this very different curve of the model, something rational is to want to work for a while,” CNBC’s interview on Friday after the launch of the GPT-5 “Squawk Box”. He said.

The GPT-5 is the company’s newest and most advanced large-scale AI model and is released on Thursday.

The model is available for everyone, including free users, and Openai said that it is smarter, faster and more useful “in areas such as writing, coding and health services.

At the beginning of this week, Openai released two open weight models for the first time since he launched the GPT-2 in 2019. These models were produced as lower cost options for developers, researchers and companies that can easily work and customize.

The development and construction of these models is expensive. However, investors seem to not come to mind.

Openai is currently discussing a potential stock sale with a valuation of approximately $ 500 billion with investors, as CNBC has already reported. Thrive Capital, an Openai investor, can lead a potential tour.

Altman said Openai would be profitable in a shorter time than he thought if he wanted. However, for the time being, the private company will continue to spend for training and calculation, since the private company is free from the pressure of public markets.

“Nice to be open to the public,” Altman said.
