A five-star bake. Worth schmearing, sharing, saving.
Summary
OpenAI is planning to introduce advertising to ChatGPT's free tier and launch a new $8/month ChatGPT Go plan in the US as the company faces significant financial pressures. The company expects to burn through $9 billion this year while generating $13 billion in revenue, with only about 5% of ChatGPT's 800 million weekly users paying for subscriptions. OpenAI doesn't expect profitability until 2030 and has committed to spending about $1.4 trillion on massive data centers and chips for AI infrastructure.
