文章摘要

根据泄露的审计财务文件,OpenAI在2025年亏损385.3亿美元,营收130.7亿美元,总成本340亿美元,运营亏损209.2亿美元。巨额亏损主要源于高昂的计算成本,这给CEO奥特曼的融资计划带来压力。

文章总结

根据经审计的财务文件,OpenAI在2025年亏损385.3亿美元,其中运营亏损209.2亿美元,营收130.7亿美元,总成本与支出达340亿美元。这些数据由Ed Zitron披露并经《金融时报》独立核实,凸显了公司高昂的算力成本。尽管OpenAI声称月收入20亿美元、周活跃用户超9亿,但运营亏损从2024年的87.8亿美元扩大至2025年的209.2亿美元,增幅约2.4倍,而营收仅增长约3.5倍。支出主要包括研发191.8亿美元、销售与营销57.3亿美元、收入成本75亿美元。其中,OpenAI向微软支付了172亿美元费用,包括105.9亿美元研发支出,微软持有OpenAI约27%股份。公司于2025年完成重组,成立OpenAI Foundation和OpenAI Group PBC,以解决资本问题。这些财务数据揭示了OpenAI在快速扩张收入的同时,成本结构仍远超常规软件投资者的接受范围,CEO Sam Altman需在IPO路演中说服市场相信其昂贵的产品路线最终能实现运营杠杆。
