The Financial Times, citing recent investor presentation materials from OpenAI, reported that the company expects cumulative free cash flow from 2026 to 2030 to be negative $278 billion. Over the same period, OpenAI projects revenue to rise from $36 billion this year to $350 billion in 2030, with total revenue across the five years reaching $840 billion. The company also expects to spend about $856 billion on compute and infrastructure by 2030, making that its largest cost item. OpenAI completed a $122 billion financing round in March this year, but the report said that, under its current spending plan, that capital could be exhausted by 2028. To support continued expansion in computing capacity, OpenAI is seeking a new funding round at a valuation above $1.2 trillion. The report also said the company is competing with rivals including Anthropic while cutting prices in response to pressure from low-cost open-source models from China.
