OpenAI’s revenue run rate is $20 billion lower than reported: Why it matters for the Anthropic IPO race
OpenAI's annualized revenue run rate for September was nearly $50 billion, $20 billion lower than previously reported figures. This discrepancy arises from differing calculation methods between OpenAI and rival Anthropic, complicating investor comparisons. As both companies prepare for IPOs, Anthropic may launch its offering this fall, while OpenAI focuses on addressing safety concerns.
