OpenAI could reportedly run out of cash by mid-2027 — analyst paints grim picture after examining the company's finances

A new financial analysis predicts OpenAI could burn through its cash reserves by mid-2027.

With Chinese competitors like DeepSeek now offering GPT-5 level performance for 95% less cost, OpenAI’s 'moat' is evaporating faster than expected. If AGI doesn't arrive to save the economics, the model is unsustainable.
