OpenAI pegs annualized revenue at $50 billion as market questions $850 billion-plus valuation
OpenAI disclosed that annualized revenue reached $50 billion at the end of September, well below the $68 billion figure widely reported previously, reigniting scrutiny of its valuation above $850 billion. CEO Sam Altman confirmed the company will not pursue an IPO this year, leaving it under pressure to back up its lofty valuation. Separately, rival Anthropic is reported to be seeking a $2 trillion valuation for a Nasdaq listing.
