AI companies are blowing through money way faster than thought
Open AI spent over 5 Billion on Marketing alone in 2025, but lost
$38.5 billion dollars
If you can't sell a tool for profit which is supposed to make people's lives easier without costing the general public their pants and shirt, is it really improving their lives?
"the company’s revenues are dwarfed by it's more significant expenses. OpenAI’s total revenues in both of the last two years were outpaced by research and development alone, which grew from a
$7.81 billion line item in 2024 to a massive
$19.18 billion cost in 2025. Those numbers reflect the significant costs incurred in training new models and include
$10.59 billion in R&D costs paid to Microsoft alone in 2025.
OpenAI’s “cost of revenue” (money spent producing and distributing) increased from
$2.65 billion in 2024 to
$7.5 billion in 2025. This reflects the significant compute costs incurred at “inference time”
