      To the best of my knowledge, openai have never made a profit. If by “made” you just mean income, then they loose money by spending far more than that, presumably on building and running datacentres

      They’ve been increasingly losing money. This is mostly because they were growing at a ridiculous rate over the past 3 years. Losing $14 billion is not unexpected. But it’s also not detrimental. Tech companies like this are famous for growing with losses. All it takes is for OpenAI to go public and it’ll become another Tesla, consistently overvalued.
