TechCrunch reports OpenAI's cumulative infrastructure spending commitments have reached roughly $750 billion through 2030 — approximately the GDP of Sweden. The figure aggregates compute, data center, and chip deals rather than cash on hand, sharpening questions about how a company at a fraction of that revenue run rate funds it. For builders, this is the clearest signal yet that inference capacity, not model quality, is the constraint the labs are pricing against.
