OpenAI has reportedly informed investors that its annualized revenue is approximately $50 billion, which is $20 billion lower than earlier projections of $70 billion. This adjustment comes after a week of speculation regarding the company's financial performance, which was initially thought to position it competitively against Anthropic.
Revenue Discrepancy
According to a report by the Financial Times, the previous figure of $70 billion was derived from information shared with investors by OpenAI. This estimate was based on attempts by OpenAI's investors to create a direct comparison with Anthropic's annualized revenues. However, it is important to note that OpenAI and Anthropic use different methodologies for calculating their annualized revenue. Anthropic includes sales made by its cloud partners, while OpenAI does not.
