Yeah, but not sure if OpenAI is profitable yet (they lost $500M last year), and costs are rising, and competition increasing.
GPT-4 cost $100M+ to train (Altman), but Dario Amodei has said next-gen models may cost $1B to train, and $10B models are not inconceivable.
I'd guess OpenAI's payroll is probably $0.5B (770 highly paid employees + benefits, not to mention hundreds of contractors creating data sets).

They're doing what they should: growing the customer base while continuing to work on the next generation of the core technology, and developing the support code to apply what they have to as broad a cross-section of problems as they have the potential to offer a solution for.
