There are signs across AI models, chips, and new form factors that the market is getting frothy.

One thing seems clear: The company is burning through far more cash than it’s bringing in, according to reporting from the New York Times. (That’s revenue largely from subscriptions to premium versions of ChatGPT and licensing its tech to third-party developers.) Here’s where things get a little wild:Next year, OpenAI estimates that its revenue will more than triple to $11.6 billion. It’s not clear how, or whether, OpenAI is working on reducing its significant cash burn. “It has nothing to do with reality.”One way OpenAI could improve its margins would be to cut costs.

Despite return-to-office mandates at Amazon and Dell, the tech world still appears to favor hybrid work. Experts say hybrid work boosts recruitment and retention and could be crucial amid tech talent wars. But while it may seem like workers are losing the battle for remote work, research suggests that hybrid work is still the norm in the tech industry. While some large companies, such as Nvidia, have remained holdouts, most Big Tech companies have had hybrid policies of various degrees. So as long as productivity stays up, I think hybrid work is here to stay in the tech world."
