How does OpenAI plan to be profitable?

Economies of scale, optimization of models, hardware, energy infrastructure, data center construction and operation, etc. Stuff is currently relatively inefficient and there's lots of room for optimization. All the usual stuff.

Is that even the plan, or is the plan to make a huge IPO while there's still hype and run off with the money?

Surveillance, user data, government contracts, military technology, and ads. I don’t actually know this, just guessing based off other big companies and what they’ve done with the current government.
