If you wonder why investors still think it’s a good idea to part with their money, I tried to break down the economic units and long term potential how all this could make sense.

Partial TL;DR

- Cash burn is not a fair approximation for COGS. OpenAI spends mostly on R&D like a pharmaceutical company does.\n- ChatGPT 4o could be making more than 12.8% in gross margin.\n- ChatGPT OSS 120B could be making 89% gross margin. It is 90% cheaper than\n4o-mini with equivalent reasoning and 3x faster inference.\n- ChatGPT 5's gross margin is most likely to fall between 12.8% and 89%.

Sometimes, certain words clue me in that they're talking about our project, and it makes me feel excluded. Isn't one of the benefits of coming into the office is being able to overhear project conversations and be able to join in?
