Growth Trends & Market Impact
OpenAI reported a doubling of its annualized revenue to $3.4 billion since late 2023. The company also experienced a growth in its customer base, with ChatGPT reaching 200 million weekly users. OpenAI has been involved in a growing number of partnerships, including a deal with Condé Nast. Additionally, OpenAI is in talks for a deal that would value the company at $100 billion. However, the company is facing financial challenges, with potential losses of $5 billion this year. OpenAI is also dealing with talent retention issues, as nearly half of its AGI safety researchers have resigned.
