OpenAI missed its goal to get ChatGPT to 1 billion active users last year and has missed multiple revenue goals this year. Enterprise adoption is similarly lagging expectations especially given Anthropic’s growing popularity.
Their CFO and board have also questioned the wisdom of the huge spending on datacenter capacity.
All of these aren’t great datapoints for a company trying to IPO this year at a valuation of $830B or more.
