OpenAI's Skyrocketing Valuation
OpenAI's valuation has surged to $157 billion, a remarkable increase from its previous $30 billion valuation just a year ago. This valuation positions it among industry giants like Goldman Sachs and AT&T, raising questions about its sustainability. Investors are split, with some, like Jim Gillies, deeming the figure absurd and unjustifiable, as future cash flows from projects like ChatGPT remain uncertain. The unpredictability surrounding OpenAI’s cash generation and growth prospects makes this valuation a contentious topic in investment discussions.
