I can't read the article, and I wouldn't be surprised if it would be mentioned: OpenAI has hit $10B ARR just a few weeks ago - which is nothing to sneeze at, but it's at least a magnitude smaller than their expenditures... it's not exactly sustainable economically.

I guess MS (or Oracle) will finally acquihire them in the next half year

This deal doesn't make any sense to me.

Like Stargate, after looking at the fine prints it will not concretize to anything real money in the end.

I don't know if the bubble will burst, but the bubble is big.

> OpenAI signed a contract with Oracle to purchase $300 billion in computing power over roughly five years

>The deal is one of the largest cloud contracts ever signed

>The Oracle contract will require 4.5 gigawatts of power capacity, roughly comparable to the electricity produced by more than two Hoover Dams or the amount consumed by about four million homes.

And where is all of this data center capacity going to come from?

They claim they are gonna overtake gcp, azure, even aws in the next few years while the revenue is not beating the estimate this quarter. The stock popped. Let's see how big the bubble goes
