On January 23, 2026, OpenAI's founder, Altman, disclosed that the company's API business had brought in roughly $1 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR) by January 2026. (It should be noted that the initial claim of December was inaccurate.) This significant revenue boost was mainly attributable to the escalating number of API calls for GPT models made by enterprise clients.
