OpenAI expects revenue will triple to $12.7 billion in 2025, a source familiar with the situation told CNBC.
The news comes two days after OpenAI announced a slew of responsibility changes for C-suite executives. CEO Sam Altman will shift his focus away from day-to-day operations and focus more on research and product, the company said, while operating chief Brad Lightcap’s role will expand to oversee the company’s “business and day-to-day operations.”
OpenAI faces intense competition in a generative AI “arms race” of sorts, from other high-valued startups like Anthropic and Perplexity and tech giants like Google and Microsoft, which has been the company’s top backer and key strategic partner.
Microsoft’s AI business had over $13 billion in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in Q4, up 175% year over year.
Bloomberg was first to report OpenAI’s revenue expectations.
