They said they planned to have a concrete launch window and pricing by now, but hardware pricing/shortages have made that hard to pin down.

Well, IIRC it’s not indirectly. Sam Altman negotiated pre-purchase of massive chunk of wafer supply, which OpenAI backs up with its virtual money.

So DRAM manufacturers are facing a wafer shortage in near future. Which translates into prices now.
