One year after losing $5 billion, OpenAI is reporting $10 billion in annual recurring revenue, reports<\/a><\/span> CNBC, due to revenue from ChatGPT business products. That number doesn\u2019t include one-time deals or its licensing agreement with Microsoft (MSFT<\/a><\/span>). <\/p>\n

Those numbers are not that surprising, after the company said<\/a><\/span> last week that it had increased its paid user base by 50% this spring, from two million in February to three million by the end of May. That was largely from business products like ChatGPT\u2019s Enterprise, Team, and Edu, launched in 2023.<\/p>\n

In March it closed<\/a><\/span> a $40-billion fundraising deal, with a valuation of $300 billion, making it one of the largest private companies in the world. Its forecast is rosy: this year it expects to triple its revenue over 2024\u2019s numbers, to $12.7 billion. That said, it\u2019s not expected to be in a cash-positive position until 2029, with projected revenue by then of $125 billion. The high costs of data centers and GPUs will likely weigh the company down in the meantime.<\/p>\n

Paid subscriptions constitute 75% of OpenAI\u2019s revenue. A ChatGPT Pro subscription costs<\/a><\/span> $200 a month for access to its most sophisticated models. <\/p>\n

In late May, OpenAI announced<\/a><\/span> a partnership with former Apple (AAPL<\/a><\/span>) designer Jony Ive to create 100 million tiny AI devices that CEO Sam Altman believes will somehow change how all consumers interact with technology. He expects them to bring in $1 trillion in revenue. The first version of the hypothetical device is expected to ship in late 2026. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
