OpenAI is exploring offering AI infrastructure services to other companies and intends to leverage its data center design and setup expertise to process AI workloads more efficiently. The company currently prioritizes securing sufficient capacity for its models and services and has no immediate plans to launch a commercial infrastructure offering. Plans include massive investments in new data centers, with CEO Sam Altman indicating readiness to invest trillions and with new financing structures in development alongside investors such as Microsoft and Oracle, banks, and private equity. OpenAI is partnering with SoftBank and Oracle on the Stargate project, and achieved $1 billion in monthly revenue in July despite remaining loss-making.
OpenAI is investigating the possibility of offering AI infrastructure services to other companies in the future. CFO Sarah Friar said in an interview that the company wants to commercially leverage the knowledge it has gained in designing and setting up data centers. According to Friar, the expertise gained can be used to process artificial intelligence workloads more efficiently, which could also be of interest to other organizations.
The scale of the plans is huge. CEO Sam Altman recently indicated that the company is prepared to invest trillions of dollars in the construction of new data centers in the near future. To finance these enormous expenditures, OpenAI is working on new financial structures, although no details have been shared yet. In addition to investors such as Microsoft and Oracle, banks and private equity firms are also reportedly willing to provide debt financing.
