图片来源： Sierra OpenAI 近期向股东们传递了喜忧参半的消息。 ChatGPT 带来的收入增长比半年前公司预期更为迅猛。坏消息是，支撑这款聊天机器人的人工智能研发算 力成本，以及其他数据中心相关支出，将以更快的速度攀升。 • OpenAI预计从2025年到2029年累计现金消耗高达1150亿美元，较半年前预测激增800亿美元。2024年消耗预计超80亿，2028年峰值达450亿。主因是AI训 练（如GPT-5开发试错）、推理计算（1500亿支出）、自建服务器设施（近1000亿计划）及人才竞争（额外200亿股权激励） •OpenAI将2030年收入预测上调15%至2000亿美元。核心驱动是ChatGPT（今年收入近100亿，2030年达900亿），并计划通过免费用户变现。 • 但API和智能体（Agents）业务，收入预期分别下调50亿和260亿美元。 这一史无前例的预计现金消耗。 在之前两年已烧掉约 20 亿美元的基础上进一步增加——有助于解释为何该公司正在筹集比史上任何私营企业都多的资金。 CEO 萨姆·奥尔特曼此前曾告诉员工，他们的公司可能是有史以来"资本最密集"的初创企业。 OpenAI 巨 ...
