OpenAI CFO declines to discuss margins, drawing mockery from Gary Marcus
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-11-07
- OpenAI's CFO addressed several hot topics: having read Anthropic's S-1, calling the canceled $500M Stargate loan argument a losing one, flagging consumer hardware as next year's focus, and saying midterms changed nothing.
- When asked about margins, the CFO said "we don't talk publicly about our margins" — Gary Marcus quoted the line with a laughing emoji, implying evasion on profitability.
