[OpenAI's Q3 Revenue Reaches $10 Billion for the First Time, Up Nearly 50% Quarter-over-Quarter] According to a Bloomberg report, sources familiar with the matter said that OpenAI's third-quarter revenue reached $10 billion for the first time, representing a nearly 50% increase quarter-over-quarter and almost three times that of the same period last year, primarily driven by strong demand for its latest AI software. OpenAI disclosed these previously undisclosed financial figures to investors during a conference call on Tuesday. OpenAI, which had lagged behind its competitor Anthropic in some metrics this year, has recently regained momentum thanks to more competitive new models, significant price reductions, and increased investment in AI agents. While OpenAI's revenue growth shows signs of acceleration, Anthropic's growth has slowed: its third-quarter revenue was approximately $17 billion, up about 47% quarter-over-quarter, lower than the more than 140% quarter-over-quarter increase in the second quarter. The two companies have historically used different revenue calculation methods. In terms of financing, OpenAI has postponed its IPO to 2027 and is currently pursuing a funding round valuing the company at $1.25 trillion. According to a previous Bloomberg report, the first phase of this round, raising $11 billion, has been completed. In comparison, Anthropic plans to go public later in November, targeting a valuation of $1.4 trillion. [Original Link]
