OpenAI has achieved $10 billion in annual recurring revenue just three years after launching ChatGPT, reflecting significant growth in both consumer and business products. Despite reporting a loss of $5 billion last year, the company aims for $125 billion in revenue by 2029 and has seen an increase in paying business users from two million to three million in recent months.
OpenAI has raised $8.3 billion in new funding, bringing its total fundraising to $40 billion, as its annual recurring revenue is projected to exceed $20 billion by year-end. The surge in capital reflects increasing investor interest in AI, with competitors like Anthropic also seeking substantial funding. Notably, OpenAI is collaborating with a UAE firm to establish a data center in Abu Dhabi.
