据报道，OpenAI 向投资者保证，预计今年将达到 700 亿美元的年度营收目标。
OpenAI reportedly assured investors it expects to reach a $70 billion annualized revenue target this year, an apparent attempt to assuage worries over it seeming to miss earlier projections, thereby casting doubt over the growth of the broader AI sector.
此举显然是为了缓解外界对其未能达到早期预测的担忧，此前这些担忧引发了对整个 AI 行业增长前景的质疑。
The frontier lab’s figures are seen as key to understanding underlying demand for cutting-edge AI models, as well as justifying the huge global spending on tech infrastructure.
这家前沿实验室的数据被视为理解尖端 AI 模型潜在需求以及证明全球对技术基础设施巨额支出合理性的关键。
Some analysts noted, however, that the annualized revenue metric is itself flawed, while others pointed to indicators that the AI boom shows no signs of slowing: Samsung this week estimated its third-quarter profit grew nearly ninefold, while Goldman Sachs raised its forecast for economic growth in Taiwan, a key hub in global chipmaking.
然而，一些分析师指出，年度营收指标本身存在缺陷，而另一些分析师则指出 AI 热潮没有放缓迹象的指标：三星本周估计其第三季度利润增长了近九倍，而高盛则上调了对全球芯片制造关键枢纽台湾的经济增长预测。
