Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

I actually think that disruption premium could exist with the capabilities of the technology has today.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

So we had a couple of questions come in.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

One is, do you foresee open AI revenue coming mainly from corporate clients or users?

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

It's a really great question.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

I mean, today, most of it is coming from end users, consumers, and there have been deals done in

the UAE and in India that make it widely available or will to those populations.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

OpenAI's API revenue, that is the enterprise revenue or a big subset of it, is actually apparently, according to a research note from Barclays, one of the banks, in a similar range to that of Anthropic, which of course is somewhat smaller.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

So the way I think about this is that it's very hard to serve two masters.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

That is the enterprise and the consumer.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

They move at different clock speeds.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

They need to do different things.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

And if you look at companies that are big and successful that have done that, Google would be a great example there with, you know, Google as a consumer search engine, then moving into publisher and advertising services, then into Google enterprise services and the cloud.

Another good example would be Amazon with going from retail through to AWS.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

Another example would, of course, be someone like Microsoft.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

The computing industry was just so different when Microsoft sort of embedded itself in the late 1980s.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

So I do think it's hard to serve both masters.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

But that said...

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

The team in OpenAI has history to guide them.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

They've got a really deep and talented bench now with people like Kevin Weil and Fiji Simo and others.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
My OpenAI thought experiment: $500B to $1.5T?

And perhaps that allows them to kind of, you know, run across both markets.
