AI bubble burst this week? OpenAI under significant stress
-
OpenAI is out of cash. It wanted to raise $30B last week but only $11b showed up. It's now begging for an additional $9b (down from original request of $19b more) from plebs, but no one has committed anything. They want to raise money at a $1.25T valuation, while ANThropic is struggling to clear a $1.3T valuation for its IPO, and ANT is arguably worth double whatever OpenAI is worth, or more precisely OpenAI is half of ANT.
OpenAI is likely this week to lock in that $11b in commitments to prevent "cold feet clauses", and then add incentives for the other cash it needs. Coreweave is another company that needs cash now, with no good options to raise any of it.
The AI circular financing bubble has OpenAI at the center. Instead of pretending it is worth $1T, all of the promises OpenAI has made have bankruptcy triggering clauses by the promise receivers, and under bankruptcy, selling off assets is worth less than $10b, and datacenters are dark without need for more of them, or more GPUs.
What seems surprising, is that even though the bubble fuckers know that collapse/pop occurs when OpenAI crashes, they are not stepping up with a measly $9b to keep it alive for a few months.

lol "bubble fuckers." I am definitely stealing that.

Ooooohhh sounds like fun, need to set aside some cash for the firesale of hard drives and gpus soon to flood ebay lol

When the bubble bursts, will the components really go back to pre-bubble prices?

Just throwing out that they wanted $30b and got $11b: those are b's, not m's. It's shocking to think that $11b would not be enough to keep a company like OpenAI running.
A lot of what we're seeing is tacit leveling of absolutely insane numbers. OpenAI has doubtless a lot more wiggle room than they'll tell investors, and that's from someone who really wants this bubble to burst.
That said, if investors stop investing en masse, that's pretty much the burst. The product has literally never made money. There's a reason why Altman is desparate to control narrative, because it really is as fragile as "when the rich stop giving us money, there is nothing left". He needs to convince people to continue to take the risk.

They will be below prebubble prices for a short while while things rebalance. But, no, not long term, at least not for quite a while.

OMG is this it? finally?

Unfortunately, the shit they've already made can't be reused for gaming. CPUs ram and gpus are not made for home PCs.
You can't repurpose a DC/clippy 2.0 GPU for gaming, the CPUs while you can put a server CPU into a home workstation, it's not going to be as good or as cheap electric wise as a consumer PC CPU. (I have a epyc CPU with ecc ram, it's great for hosting dedicated servers, but is pretty weak for actual gaming). Same goes for the GPUs, most don't even have display ports on them, and those that do, it's usually just one or two at the most.

Oh but I'll be buying a few 1U /2Us with some H100/H200 for sure.

Genuine question: what are the doing with that money? Buying future components from sellers? Buying land? Paying labour? That's a lot of money going into something that is essentially a 'service' entity. They're not producing anything tangible.

Electric bill.

datacenters need to be cancelled, or more specifically NVidia GPU orders cancelled. Then ddr5/6 ram can be made instead. gddr ram too. If OpenAI implodes (they absolutely need cash f'n now not to), there is no way that huge cancellations of Nvidia GPUs don't happen.

each datacenter gw, before nvidia price hikes and construction inflation, is $60b. They have promised to rent 33gw of future datacenters. A large chunk of dumbass bubble fuckers have been building these with upfront cash/debt thinking this is possible.
The other problem for OpenAI is that they lose big money just running their existing models. They raised over $21b in March of this year, with even more in "compute credits" and now its gone.

You're not the first to claim this, but it sounds pretty convincing… I'll have to see it with my own eyes before I believe it though. Not sure how excited I will be due to the economic repercussions such an event would have, and I might miss ChatGPT, but I am damn well aware that the longer this keeps on going the worse the repercussions will become.
Either way, if hardware prices are coming down I will be buying.

The models won't disapear. In the end, I think saving $5T-$10T in repercussions from not giving them $9b, ends with giving them $9b. The quiet limbo part is telling. Everyone who pumped AI bubble is already too overextended. So much other investment is also being requested.

most of that hardware hasn't even been made yet.
a lot of fab capacity will soon be free. plus some of that stuff can be reused easily.

Companies like these are too big to go bankrupt, it will crash but OpenAI will make all the excuses to get whatever they need to avoid bankruptcy.
