OpenAI reportedly spends over $700,000 (Rs 5.80 crore) every day on operating costs to run only one of its AI services, ChatGPT. As a result, OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, is quickly using up its financial resources.  Despite attempts to monetize GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, the business has not yet generated enough income to meet its expenses.

 Numerous companies, previously apprehensive about their employees using ChatGPT, have now begun acquiring access to OpenAI's APIs, enabling them to use AI chatbots for diverse workflows. While industry behemoths like Google and Meta are frequently seen as OpenAI's main rivals, Elon Musk and his xAI project also deserve consideration. Since ChatGPT became viral, Musk, who has long been interested in AI, especially as a result of his work with Tesla, has made important advancements in the field.
