OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the firm is moving from research lab to business scale, restructuring after its recent deal with Microsoft to remove funding limits and support its infrastructure build-out. Altman described plans to develop 30 gigawatts of compute capacity with a capital cost around US$1.4 trillion and ultimately add 1 gigawatt per week, an unprecedented ambition in AI-computing scale. The move signals a clear pivot toward commercialization and public-capital readiness amid intensifying competition in generative AI infrastructure.
