Investors in private AI labs, despite reports of OpenAI missing its revenue targets, have remained optimistic about the future of AI technology. Ben Reitzes, managing director at Melius Research, stated that investors are not slowing down due to a negative article in the Wall Street Journal. Mark Malek, chief investment officer at Siebert Financial, suggested that investors should be disappointed by the pessimistic outlook. However, he also noted that OpenAI should be scrambling to keep ahead of competitors like Anthropic and Google's Gemini. The company's focus on growing revenue in its enterprise business is on Codex subscriptions, which has 4 million users.
