OpenAI is on a bold mission to reach 1 billion users by 2025, leveraging new AI products and strategic partnerships, particularly with tech giant Apple.

OpenAI's CFO, Sarah Friar, envisions the company transitioning into a leading research lab serving potentially billions of consumers globally by 2025.

Currently, ChatGPT boasts 250 million weekly active users, having achieved a remarkable 100 million users just two months after its launch.

Founded nine years ago, OpenAI is evolving from a startup into a commercial tech powerhouse, despite facing challenges from notable figures like Elon Musk.

In October 2024, OpenAI raised over $6 billion in funding, marking it as Silicon Valley's highest-valued startup, and further investments are anticipated.

To accommodate its growth, OpenAI is planning to build new data centers in the Midwest and Southwest regions of the United States, emphasizing the need for critical resources.

This initiative aligns with strategies from major competitors like Google and Amazon, highlighting the essential resources such as chips, data, and energy in the AI sector.

As OpenAI prepares to expand, competitors like Google, Anthropic, and Microsoft are also gearing up to launch their own AI agents within the coming year.

To support this ambitious growth, OpenAI plans to launch AI agents designed to assist users with various tasks, enhancing user satisfaction and utility.

Despite its high valuation of $150 billion, OpenAI is currently not profitable, with annual expenditures exceeding $5 billion.

CEO Sam Altman has indicated the need to raise significant capital for infrastructure, with discussions involving potential trillions from investors.

OpenAI is also expanding its sales team with a revenue target of $100 billion by 2029, capitalizing on the broader surge in the AI market.
