OpenAI is planning a massive expansion of its AI infrastructure, with potential investments reaching trillions of dollars. This includes constructing new data centres and developing novel financial instruments to fund these projects. The company is also exploring opportunities beyond its current AI models, considering investments in brain-computer interface technology to rival Neuralink.
CEO Sam Altman acknowledged challenges with the recent GPT-5 rollout but noted significant user growth across OpenAI's platforms. ChatGPT's user base has quadrupled in the past year, reaching 700 million weekly users. Altman also expressed interest in acquiring Google Chrome if antitrust actions force its sale.
OpenAI is undergoing corporate restructuring, with Fidji Simo appointed to lead its applications business. Altman hinted at a potential future IPO, though he expressed uncertainty about his long-term role as CEO of a public company. The company is also working with Jony Ive, former Apple designer, on a new AI device.
