A business-focused overview of Sarah Friar’s treatise outlines OpenAI’s rapid compute expansion (from 0.2 GW in 2023 to a projected 1.9 GW by 2026) and parallel ARR growth (from $2B in 2023 to over $20B by 2026), arguing that compute is the primary constraint on growth; it presents a hybrid monetization model spanning ad-supported free tiers (e.g., ChatGPT Go), subscriptions, and metered APIs, alongside diversification of compute vendors and a strategic positioning of OpenAI as an AI infrastructure provider.
