OpenAI is already close to $2 bn in revenue as growth skyrockets, had managed $1 bn last year
FirstpostOpenAI has achieved a remarkable milestone, with its annualised revenues crossing the $2 billion mark, driven primarily by the widespread adoption of its leading artificial intelligence product, ChatGPT. This exponential growth trajectory positions OpenAI alongside esteemed Silicon Valley counterparts like Google and Meta, achieving revenues of $1 billion within a decade of its inception. Despite internal disruptions in November, including the temporary ousting and subsequent reinstatement of CEO Sam Altman, OpenAI has continued to capitalize on the AI boom ignited by the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022. Altman revealed that as of November last year, a staggering 92 per cent of Fortune 500 companies were leveraging OpenAI’s suite of products, with ChatGPT boasting 100 million weekly users. Microsoft’s AI Copilot, powered by OpenAI’s models, is gaining traction among enterprise users of Microsoft 365, with over 18,000 customers purchasing OpenAI software through the Azure platform.
