OpenAI claims to have hit $10B in annual revenue
In Brief
OpenAI says it recently hit $10 billion in annual recurring revenue, up from around $5.5 billion last year.
That figure includes revenue from the company's consumer products, ChatGPT business products, and its API, an OpenAI spokesperson told CNBC. Currently, OpenAI is serving more than 500 million weekly active users and 3 million paying business customers.
The revenue milestone comes roughly two and a half years after OpenAI launched its popular chatbot platform, ChatGPT. The company is targeting $125 billion in revenue by 2029.
OpenAI is under some pressure to increase revenue quickly. The company burns billions of dollars each year hiring and recruiting talent to work on its AI products, and securing the necessary infrastructure to train and run AI systems. OpenAI has not disclosed its operating expenses or whether it is close to profitability.

After launching its first in-house processor in 2020, Apple completed its transition away from Intel with the launch of the Mac Pro in 2023.

'Apple silicon enables us all to achieve things that were previously unimaginable, and it's time to put all of our focus and innovation there,' Firlik said. 'If you've not done so already, now is a great time to help your users migrate to the Apple silicon versions of your apps.' Here's a full list of devices compatible with macOS Tahoe, as shown on Apple's website: MacBook Air with Apple silicon (2020 and later) MacBook Pro with Apple silicon (2020 and later) MacBook Pro (16‑inch, 2019) MacBook Pro (13‑inch, 2020, four Thunderbolt 3 ports) iMac (2020 and later) Mac mini (2020 and later) Mac Studio (2022 and later) Mac Pro (2019 and later) Apple is carrying over its new Liquid Glass design language to macOS Tahoe, as well as several new features, such as a more powerful version of Spotlight, support for the iPhone's Live Activities, and the Phone app.
