OpenAI is exploring the potential of offering AI infrastructure services to other companies, according to Bloomberg. This initiative, discussed by CFO Sarah Friar, could provide a new revenue stream to help offset the significant costs associated with the company's operations.

OpenAI has developed expertise in designing and setting up data centers optimized for AI workloads. The company sees an opportunity to capitalize on this know-how by potentially offering these services to other businesses. While OpenAI is not actively pursuing this venture at the moment, Friar mentioned it as a future business possibility.

CEO Sam Altman has indicated that OpenAI plans to spend trillions on data center construction in the near future. This ambitious plan underscores the company's commitment to expanding its infrastructure capabilities to meet the growing demand for AI computing power.

OpenAI's current focus remains on securing computing capacity for its own operations, but the idea of renting out infrastructure is inspired by the success of companies like Amazon in the cloud computing space. As OpenAI continues to grow, it is also exploring various financial strategies to support its infrastructure expansion.
