OpenAI's third-quarter revenue reached 10000000000 USD for the first time, with a quarter-over-quarter increase of nearly 50%
Beating AI news, according to Bloomberg, people familiar with the matter said OpenAI's third-quarter revenue reached 10000000000 USD for the first time, up nearly 50% quarter-over-quarter and close to 3 times the same period last year, mainly driven by strong market demand for its latest AI software. OpenAI disclosed this set of not-yet-public financial data to investors in a conference call on Tuesday local time.
OpenAI had at one point this year lagged behind competitor Anthropic on some metrics, but recently regained growth momentum by relying on more competitive new models, significantly lower prices, and increased investment in AI agents. While OpenAI's revenue growth is showing signs of acceleration, Anthropic's growth has slowed somewhat: its third-quarter revenue was about 17000000000 USD, 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 standards.
On the financing side, OpenAI has postponed its listing plan to 2027 and is currently advancing a funding round valued at 1250000000000 USD. According to earlier Bloomberg reports, the first phase of this funding round has been completed, with an amount of 11000000000 USD. By comparison, Anthropic plans to go public later in November, with a target valuation of 1400000000000 USD.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
This news concerns the revenue growth, fundraising, and IPO plans of AI companies. According to the report, OpenAI's quarterly revenue increased compared with both the previous quarter and the same period last year; Anthropic's quarterly revenue also grew, but its quarter-over-quarter increase declined. Because the two companies use different revenue calculation methods, business performance cannot be compared directly based solely on 10000000000 USD and 17000000000 USD. The relevant information includes media relayed accounts and undisclosed financial data, and should remain pending verification.
Why it matters to readers
The report involves AI software demand, the growth performance of two companies, and their financing and listing arrangements; however, the revenue calibers differ and the data have not yet been made public, which limits horizontal comparison and further judgment.
When reading, distinguish between revenue, financing amounts, and valuation, and also distinguish between disclosures that have already occurred and listing arrangements that are still in the planning stage. Do not treat media paraphrasing as public confirmation by the company.
Risks and unknowns
The quarterly financial data comes from media citing people familiar with the matter, and no evidence was provided in the form of the company's public financial reports or original disclosures for verification.
The specific differences in the revenue calculation methodology of the two companies were not explained, so the figures cannot be directly compared side by side.
