Big models are too "money-burning"! OpenAI expects to lose $14 billion in 2026 and will not be profitable until 2029. Under financial pressure, it plans to switch to a new corporate structure

On October 9, local time, foreign media reported that although OpenAI's valuation reached $157 billion in the latest round of $6.6 billion in financing, the company still needs to deal with annual losses of up to billions of dollars and huge operating costs in the next few years. According to the company's financial documents, OpenAI will lose $14 billion in 2026, and this forecast does not include stock compensation, which is one of OpenAI's largest expenses.

In order to attract investors, OpenAI is considering adopting a new corporate structure - a public benefit company (PBC) to prevent hostile takeovers and protect the company from interference by activist investors. By adopting the PBC structure, OpenAI is also expected to obtain more funds to compete with well-funded competitors such as Google and cover the costs associated with building powerful artificial intelligence models.

However, this new structure is not without criticism. “This is a way for the current management and directors to entrench their position,” said Jens Dammann, a professor at the University of Texas School of Law.
