Over $1.6 billion in annualized revenue increased 20% in two months despite CEO drama at OpenAI. Sam Altman‘s dismissal and subsequent restoration as CEO of OpenAI had significantly tarnished the AI development company’s financial standing. Regardless of the foregoing, OpenAI is projected to generate a higher revenue than initially anticipated.
A recent development at OpenAI involved the abrupt termination and subsequent hiring of CEO Sam Altman, but the thriving technology startup still needs to release solid financial results. The Information reports that, as of the most recent report, OpenAI, the company responsible for developing the ChatGPT chatbot, generated a noteworthy “$1.6 billion in revenue,” exceeding the $1.3 billion mark reached in mid-October and representing an extraordinary 20 percent increase in just two months.
Data on the increased revenue was provided to The Information by sources with knowledge of the situation. OpenAI has observed a consistent increase in user subscriptions since the introduction of ChatGPT in February of 2023, signifying constant expansion. Recent data suggests that the organization can generate a remarkable monthly revenue of $130 million, thereby highlighting its dynamic financial performance. The comparison between the present status of OpenAI and its position in 2022 is especially remarkable.
The disclosed data indicates that OpenAI generated a relatively modest $28 million in revenue during the preceding year’s 12-month period. When the most recent figure is considered, it indicates a phenomenal increase in revenue of 5,700 percent from the previous year. The significant expansion is anticipated to attract the interest of investors, as Bloomberg reports indicate that OpenAI is preparing to secure a new funding round, with a valuation target of at least $100 billion. At this time, the identities of prospective new partners have not been disclosed.
Further deliberations indicate that OpenAI is entering the “custom chip market” and, according to reports, is in negotiations with Abu Dhabi-based G42 to obtain $8 to $10 billion in initial funding. According to ITHome, market research firm CB Insights predicts that OpenAI will become the second most valuable startup in the United States, following Elon Musk’s SpaceX, should the $100 billion valuation round be completed successfully.
