Only 240,000 paying customers needed to cover $24M/mo server costs. I would assume personnel costs could be in the same class as well.

- samspenc 4y agoAround 375 employees per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI Let's say 500 employees, earning above Bay Area average, along with benefits etc at $400K average per year. That's $200 million a year in wages, so in the same ballpark as the $200 million in infrastructure costs cited in the article, for a total of $400 million in expenses per year.
