03DEEP DIVES & ANALYSIS

MIND THE GAAP AGAIN

OpenAI desperately needs cash because it lacks economies of scale. Microsoft is shipping billions to OpenAI because it would be disastrous for the company if OpenAI went under. $10 billion of OpenAI's revenue may have been effectively a subsidy from Microsoft. This means that OpenAI was charging subscribers around 25% of what they were costing. OpenAI would have significantly fewer subscribers with an $80 per month subscription.

This approach reduced human supervision and explored autonomous LLM agent capabilities via stress tests and a $20,000, 2,000-session effort. The compiler, while functional, has limitations like inefficient code and reliance on GCC for some features.

ON RECURSIVE SELF-IMPROVEMENT (PART I)

The automation of AI research and engineering will begin in earnest this year. This will create at least a step-change improvement in AI progress. It could also change the dynamics of AI competition, alter AI geopolitics, and much more. There will be more AI progress this year than in all of the years that have come before, and that's a conservative forecast.
