据《华尔街日报》报道,OpenAI预测2028年仅AI研究硬件成本就将高达1210亿美元。尽管当年销售额预计翻倍,公司仍将面临850亿美元亏损,预计直到2030年代才能实现整体盈利。竞争对手Anthropic也面临类似的训练成本激增轨迹,只是规模较小。分析指出,两家公司只有在忽略计算支出的情况下才能实现早期盈利,反映出巨额基础设施投入正成为AI行业的普遍挑战。
WSJ: OpenAI forecasting $121B in AI research hardware costs for 2028 by itself.
Even though sales are expected to double that year, losses would still hit $85B, and the company does not expect overall profits until the 2030s.
Anthropic's outlook shows the same steep upward path in training costs, just at a lower scale, and both companies seem to reach early profitability only if compute spending is ignored.
