Early this morning, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on X to showcase revenue figures, stating, “For our API business alone, we added over $1 billion in ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) last month.”
He continued, saying that most people only see ChatGPT’s achievements, but the API team’s performance has been equally impressive.
Altman’s move may be aimed at boosting investor confidence. In recent days, OpenAI has reportedly been planning to seek $50 billion in financing, with a new valuation estimated between $750 billion and $830 billion.
Meanwhile, at a Davos forum hosted by The Information CEO Jessica Lessin, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar discussed another business opportunity—” value sharing.”
She proposed that in the pharmaceutical R&D sector, other companies could use OpenAI’s technology to discover drugs. But once a new drug is successfully developed, OpenAI would take a portion of the profits from the revenue its AI technology creates for clients.
