OpenAI quarterly revenue surges to $10 billion

OpenAI generated $10 billion in revenue in the three months to September, up nearly 50 percent on the prior quarter and almost three times the year-ago level, Bloomberg reported from an investor briefing on Tuesday.

Why it matters: The jump re-accelerates OpenAI's growth against Anthropic, which the same report puts at about $17 billion for the quarter, and it lands while OpenAI raises capital at a reported $1.25 trillion valuation with its own listing pushed into next year.

OpenAI generated $10 billion in revenue in the three months ending in September, a rise of nearly 50 percent from the prior quarter and almost three times the year-ago quarter, according to a person familiar with the matter who described figures shared at an investor briefing on Tuesday, Bloomberg News reported. The report puts the growth down to enterprise adoption of its frontier models, more capable model releases, price adjustments and investment in workplace automation agents.

The same briefing account has Anthropic still ahead on absolute revenue at about $17 billion for the quarter, though its sequential growth slowed to roughly 47 percent from more than 140 percent in the second quarter, and the two companies use differing revenue accounting frameworks. OpenAI is raising capital at a reported $1.25 trillion valuation and has closed an initial $11 billion tranche, having pushed its own public listing into next year.
