OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar said on the Consello YouTube channel that compute the company bought a year ago could be sold on the market today for 3 to 5x its purchase price—'a great investment, if nothing else.' The bad news, she added, is that OpenAI is still short on compute, underscoring both GPU price appreciation and persistent AI capacity constraints.
