OpenAI is disputing a Wall Street Journal report claiming the company missed internal revenue and user growth targets. The report alleges OpenAI fell short of reaching one billion weekly active ChatGPT users. This target was reportedly set for completion by the end of 2025. Sources indicate the company also missed several monthly revenue goals throughout the current year.
CFO Sarah Friar reportedly expressed concerns regarding the company's ability to fund massive computing infrastructure. These internal worries stem from rising competition and high operational costs.
An OpenAI spokesperson labeled the report clickbait and stated the business is firing on all cylinders. The company claims its enterprise segment is currently in its strongest position ever. Microsoft shares dipped following the initial report of OpenAI's missed targets.
