OpenAI disclosed to investors that its annualized revenue reached approximately $50 billion by the end of September, a figure lower than the widely reported $68 billion. The previously reported higher amount included gross revenue from OpenAI's partners, which helps in comparison with rivals like Anthropic. OpenAI also touted 77% total run rate growth during its third quarter and 107% run rate growth for its enterprise business. The company is under pressure to justify its $852 billion valuation as it prepares for a widely anticipated IPO, with executives signaling a 2027 debut.
