05:35 AM EST, 11/07/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Microsoft ( MSFT )-backed (MSFT) OpenAI expects to end 2025 above $20 billion in annualized revenue run rate and grow to "hundreds of billion" by 2030, OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman said Thursday.

The company is looking at data center infrastructure commitments of about $1.4 trillion over the next eight years, Altman said in a post on social media platform X.

"Based on the trends we are seeing of how people are using AI and how much of it they would like to use, we believe the risk to OpenAI of not having enough computing power is more significant and more likely than the risk of having too much," Altman wrote in justifying the company's infrastructure plans.
