As of the end of September, OpenAI’s annual revenue had reached approximately $50 billion. The previously reported figure of nearly $70 billion stemmed from differences in sales recognition accounting standards among its various corporate partners. However, it should be noted that both methods adhere to U.S. GAAP standards. Currently, OpenAI is experiencing rapid business expansion. In the third quarter, its total annual revenue surged by 77% year-on-year, while enterprise revenue soared by 107% year-on-year. The company projects that its actual annual revenue will reach at least $70 billion by the end of 2026. Meanwhile, it anticipates maintaining high levels of user bases and the number of enterprises served across its products. OpenAI is now moving forward with a new round of funding negotiations, aiming to secure at least $30 billion at a pre-money valuation of $1.4 trillion. Its significant funding requirements have attracted market attention, causing a decline in tech stocks, particularly chip stocks. This reflects the capital market's cautious stance on whether the AI industry's substantial computational expenses can keep pace with revenue growth. Ultimately, whether AI companies can achieve sustainable development amidst the pressure of substantial data center costs depends on whether enterprises can realize measurable improvements in actual productivity.
