OpenAI's September annualized revenue nears $50 billion, below earlier estimate

business-standard.com — October 9, 2026 at 06:01 AM UTC

OpenAI has told investors its annualized revenue for September was nearly $50 billion, a figure lower than an earlier estimate of approaching $70 billion, a person familiar with the matter said on Thursday. The discrepancy arose from an attempt to produce a direct comparison with rival Anthropic, the person said on condition of anonymity. OpenAI, unlike Anthropic, does not include revenue from sales via cloud partners such as Amazon's AWS and Alphabet's Google Cloud. Both companies are preparing to go public, which will clarify their finances. OpenAI started the year with $20 billion in annualized revenue, while Anthropic's annualized revenue crossed $65 billion in July and is set to reach $100 billion by year-end.
