Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

The methodology, how we actually got into it.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

And a lot of it was based on numbers that we could find in the past historically, and then trying to predict what would happen in the rest of 2025.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

So for example, the sales and marketing, we had some data that 2024 was 1 billion in sales and marketing.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

And then in

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

H1 of 2025, that was 2 billion, for example.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

So we can build a picture using constraints in this way.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

And from that, you can try and understand the costs of the company as a whole.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

And we broke it down into many categories, as you can tell in the piece.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

But each of those as well, I tried to break down further into the different separate components so that we could realistically understand whether or not it was feasible or a realistic approximation at least.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

Yeah, spot on with the numbers there.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

The other thing I would like to also consider is that AI is also creating a flywheel in the development space of itself.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

So I'm wondering how that might affect R&D down the line, given that R&D is such a huge development cost to the company for the next model.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

That's just a thought there.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

Yeah.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View

So in Meta's earnings in October, they commented that their AI tool

driven ads were essentially bringing in 60 billion of revenue in ARR.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

So there is a considerable uplift already in the ad space there, but it's, this will be the first time that it will be in the chat one.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

And it was also the Meta were able to keep people on like Instagram, on YouTube, not YouTube, Instagram and Facebook longer.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

So people were seeing more of these ads as well.

Azeem Azhar's Exponential View
Inside the economics of OpenAI (exclusive research)

Yeah.
