OpenAI's $74B loss in 2028 projected amid data center investment

Business Nov 12, 2025

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is projected to lose $74 billion in 2028 alone—even as it plans a huge $1.4 trillion investment in data centers over the next eight years.
The idea is to play the long game and hopefully turn profitable by 2030.

Anthropic's approach contrasts with OpenAI's aggressive growth strategy

While OpenAI is pouring money into infrastructure and aiming for future growth, Anthropic (another AI player) is taking a steadier route.
Anthropic focuses on building strong client relationships and already gets most of its revenue from over 300,000 business clients.
Thanks to this strategy, they're expected to break even by 2028—way ahead of OpenAI's timeline.
