AI overview

According to financial documents shared with investors, OpenAI's annualized revenue is about $50 billion, roughly $20 billion lower than the $70 billion previously reported by media. The company recently told investors that annualized revenue was close to $50 billion as of the end of September, while investor materials from July showed about $30 billion at that time. OpenAI told investors that revenue this year will reach $50 billion, below the $70 billion expectation provided to investors last month, a gap of about $20 billion. The difference stems from investors wanting a more directly comparable revenue accounting method with Anthropic: Anthropic includes sales through cloud partners such as AWS and Google Cloud, while OpenAI does not. The news weighed on U.S. tech stocks, with the Nasdaq closing down 1.4% on Thursday, Nvidia down 2.9%, and Oracle down 5.5%.

    OpenAI's revenue expectation for this year has been revised down by $20 billion to $50 billion

    OpenAI told investors that its revenue this year will reach $50 billion, below the $70 billion expectation it provided to investors last month, a gap of about $20 billion. This difference stems from investors wanting a more direct comparison with Anthropic's revenue accounting: Anthropic includes sales through cloud partners like AWS and Google Cloud, while OpenAI does not. The news weighed on U.S. tech stocks, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq index closing down 1.4% on Thursday, Nvidia down 2.9%, Oracle down 5.5%, and Micron down 4.8%. OpenAI is in early talks for a $30 billion funding round at a valuation of about $1.4 trillion; its most recent funding round was completed in March, raising $122 billion at a valuation of $852 billion. Anthropic is expected to advance its IPO plans as early as next month.

    OpenAI's annualized revenue is about $50 billion, $20 billion lower than previously reported figures

    According to financial documents shared with investors, OpenAI's annualized revenue is approximately $50 billion, about $20 billion lower than the $70 billion previously reported by media. The company recently told investors that annualized revenue was close to $50 billion as of the end of September, while July investor materials showed it was around $30 billion at that time. The discrepancy stems from investors trying to make a direct comparison between OpenAI and Anthropic's annualized revenue, as the two companies calculate it differently: Anthropic includes sales from cloud partners like AWS and Google Cloud, while OpenAI does not. After related reports were published, U.S. stocks fell, with the Nasdaq 100 down 1.7%, Nvidia down 2.9%, Oracle down nearly 6%, and Micron down 4%. OpenAI declined to comment and is in talks with investors for a new private funding round, with a valuation possibly around $1.4 trillion.
