Annual revenue of OpenAI reached $10 billion: growth doubled in a year and expansion in the field of AI devices

OpenAI, one of the world's leaders in artificial intelligence, has announced that it has achieved annual recurring revenue of $10 billion, CNBC reported, citing a company representative. This is almost twice as much as last year, when revenue was $5.5 billion.

According to the company, the revenue structure includes revenues from consumer products, the corporate version of ChatGPT and API access, which are actively used in the business environment around the world.

To date, OpenAI serves more than 500 million weekly active users, and the number of paid corporate clients has exceeded 3 million. These data confirm the rapid growth in popularity and commercial sustainability of the company, as well as the global distribution of its solutions based on artificial intelligence.

Among the latest technological developments of OpenAI is a lightweight version of ChatGPT, which is able to access Internet resources in real time to prepare more accurate and up-to-date responses. This was an important step towards increasing the flexibility and application efficiency of AI models in everyday use.

In addition, the company is actively investing in expanding its influence in the market of physical AI devices. In particular, it became known about the acquisition of the startup io, which develops innovative gadgets focused on integration with artificial intelligence technologies.

Thus, OpenAI continues not only to strengthen its position in the software solutions market, but also to increase its technological presence in related sectors. The doubling of annual revenue is further evidence of the growing importance of AI in the global economy and business processes.
