OpenAI Inference Pressure Continues to Mount
BenBajarin · x · 2026-07-15
The core message quoted from @sama: the growth of 5.6 亿 is staggering, and the inference team has already done a massive amount of work to support the demand.
He stated the team will "move mountains" to continue expanding capacity, but also admitted that there might still be some hiccups in the short term. This indicates that the current demand pressure on the inference side remains immense.
