OpenAI is on track to generate more than $40 billion in annualized revenue, roughly double its run rate at the end of 2025, according to sources. Bloomberg’s Rachel Metz explains how growth in paying ChatGPT users, enterprise adoption and coding assistant Codex are driving the surge, and why the enormous cost of computing power remains a key challenge for the AI company. She joins Tim Stenovec on “Bloomberg Tech.”

While anthropic 10x sales from last year, OpenAI double from last year to 40B is a joke in the grand scheme of trillion being pour into data centers

Revenue can go up 100x. Net profit is what matters.

No it’s not. Stop the BS we can all read as well. If you spend 100 dollars to make 10 then you make 20 that’s not doubling revenue that’s still setting money in fire. Only idiots are buying this and SpaceX BS any more

That’s profit you’re talking about. They are talking revenue. It’s still pointless they are saying it, but wanted to help ya out, no rage. Whatever it costs you spending wise is irrelevant to revenue.
