Artificial intelligence company OpenAI has surpassed $25 billion in annualized revenue, according to a report published Wednesday by The Information. The figure was cited by a source familiar with the company’s financial performance.
The reported revenue represents an increase of about 17% compared with the $21.4 billion annualized revenue OpenAI recorded at the end of last year, highlighting the rapid growth of the AI startup as demand for generative AI services continues to expand worldwide.
Reuters said it could not independently confirm the figures, and OpenAI has not yet responded to requests for official comment regarding the report.
OpenAI expands into the enterprise AI market
As part of its growth strategy, OpenAI is increasingly targeting the enterprise technology market. The company has partnered with four of the world’s largest consulting firms to help businesses move beyond experimental AI projects and adopt full-scale artificial intelligence solutions across their operations.
The initiative reflects OpenAI’s belief that a more hands-on implementation approach can accelerate adoption among large corporate clients.
However, OpenAI faces growing competition in the enterprise AI sector. Rival startup Anthropic is rapidly expanding its own AI offerings, while major technology companies such as Google are also aggressively promoting artificial intelligence services for business customers.
Rapid revenue growth since the launch of ChatGPT
OpenAI’s revenue growth has been remarkable since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022. At that time, the company had virtually no revenue. By 2025, its annualized revenue has climbed to more than $20 billion, driven by the global adoption of AI-powered tools.
Anthropic has experienced similar momentum, reaching approximately $9 billion in annualized revenue, underscoring the explosive expansion of the generative AI industry.
Massive compute investment and potential IPO
Looking ahead, OpenAI is planning significant investments in computing infrastructure. The company is targeting roughly $600 billion in total compute spending by 2030 as it continues to build the technology needed to support advanced AI models.
These long-term investments are also seen as part of preparations for a potential initial public offering (IPO). According to industry expectations, an OpenAI public listing could eventually value the company at as much as $1 trillion, reflecting its central role in the rapidly growing artificial intelligence market.
