OpenAI is developing a comprehensive five-year strategy to meet its ambitious goal of spending over $1 trillion to advance artificial intelligence technologies, according to a report by the Financial Times. The AI giant aims to secure new revenue streams, forge debt partnerships, and attract additional funding to sustain its rapid growth and infrastructure expansion.

As part of the plan, OpenAI is exploring customized AI solutions for governments and enterprises, signaling a push toward tailored, large-scale commercial applications. The company is also in talks to expand its computing capabilities through the Stargate project in collaboration with Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp. (TYO:9984), a move designed to strengthen its AI infrastructure and support next-generation model training.

OpenAI is reportedly considering entering the online advertising market and launching consumer hardware products through a potential partnership with former Apple designer Jony Ive. These ventures could diversify its revenue sources while reducing reliance on software-based income.

Despite its rapid growth, OpenAI remains largely unprofitable. The company’s operational costs and capital commitments significantly outweigh its revenues, creating financial pressure as it continues to scale. Recent data shows OpenAI generated approximately $4.3 billion in the first half of 2025 but posted a $13.5 billion loss during the same period.

The report adds that OpenAI has pledged to acquire over 26 gigawatts of computing capacity from Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO). These commitments could cost more than $1 trillion over the next decade, underscoring the company’s monumental investment in building the future of AI.

OpenAI’s long-term financial strategy reflects its determination to lead the AI revolution—balancing innovation with immense capital demands to sustain its technological edge.
