Investing.com-- OpenAI is working on a five-year plan to meet the more than $1 trillion in spending it has pledged towards furthering its artificial intelligence development, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday. 

The AI startup is working on new revenue sources, debt partnerships, and more fundraising as part of the plan, the FT report said, citing multiple people familiar with the startup’s efforts. 

OpenAI is also working on deals to provide governments and businesses with more bespoke products, the report said. 

The AI startup is considering new plans to raise more debt and build out its AI infrastructure, and is also considering supplying its computing power from the Stargate project with SoftBank Group Corp. (TYO:9984)

The startup is also weighing ways to enter online advertising and launch consumer hardware products, especially through a partnership with former Apple designer Jony Ive.

All of the efforts will be directed towards meeting debt obligations, given that OpenAI is still largely a loss-making business. The company’s capital obligations are far higher than its income– a trend that has put off some investors, including Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)

The company has also made commitments to take over 26 gigawatts of capacity from Oracle Corporation (NYSE:ORCL), NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD), and Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:AVGO), which will likely cost well over $1 trillion in the next decade, the FT said. 

Recent reports showed OpenAI generated about $4.3 billion in the first half of 2025, and logged a $13.5 billion loss.
