OpenAI is exploring the possibility of renting out its data centers and infrastructure to other companies, which could become a new revenue source for the organization.
New Opportunities for OpenAI
OpenAI is considering offering its data centers, designed for handling high-load tasks associated with artificial intelligence, for rent. This could enable small and medium companies to access computing power without having to invest in their own equipment.
Company Priorities
Currently, OpenAI is focused on meeting the growing demand for its products, such as ChatGPT. CFO Sarah Friar emphasized that the company is not actively pursuing the rental plan yet, as its primary goal is ensuring sufficient computing capacity for its needs.
CEO's Ambitious Plans
CEO Sam Altman has outlined plans to invest trillions of dollars in infrastructure, announcing the Stargate joint venture with partners like SoftBank and Oracle. Altman believes that 100 million GPUs will be needed to support future AI models.
OpenAI stands at the brink of significant changes and potential functional expansion, but the company is also aware of the risks associated with growth and possible market speculation in AI.
