OpenAI, the developer of the popular chatbot ChatGPT, has seen rapid revenue growth in recent months, reflecting the rapid adoption of its artificial intelligence in the work of people and businesses.
AI profits are growing
Financial indicators
According to CEO Sam Altman, OpenAI's revenue for the first half of the year increased to 3 .4 billion dollars. At the end of 2023, this figure was 1.6 billion dollars, and last summer - about 1 billion. The bulk of the company's revenue, about $3.2 billion a year, comes from subscribing to its chatbots and giving software developers access to artificial intelligence models.
Partnership with Microsoft
OpenAI also receives a share of the sales of its models to customers of the Microsoft cloud service Azure. According to Altman, that share is now about $200 million a year, or about 20% of the revenue Microsoft gets from that business.
Ahead of the competition
This level of revenue puts ChatGPT developer far ahead of its competitors. For example, competitor Anthropic told investors last fall that it was generating $100 million in annual revenue, and by the end of 2024 it was targeting more than $850 million in annual revenue. In April, Canadian competitor Coere had $22 million in annual revenue.
Cooperation with Apple
This week it became known about the cooperation of OpenAI and Apple. The iPhone developer integrated ChatGPT into its devices and strengthened the Siri assistant with it. However, according to Bloomberg, the partnership will not generate significant revenue for either side, at least initially. Apple does not pay OpenAI as part of the partnership, believing that promoting OpenAI's brand and technologies to hundreds of millions of its devices has as much or even greater value than the money.
