KI: OpenAI-Umsatz liegt 20 Milliarden Dollar unter bisherigen Erwartungen

Der ChatGPT-Entwickler wächst langsamer als erwartet. Hintergrund ist offenbar eine neue Berechnungsweise, die den Vergleich mit dem Rivalen Anthropic erleichtern soll. Anleger reagieren nervös.

KI: OpenAI-Umsatz liegt 20 Milliarden Dollar unter bisherigen Erwartungen

OpenAI's annual revenue is projected to reach around $50 billion, according to Bloomberg news agency, which cited anonymous sources. While this marks a 20% increase compared to the previous year, it falls short of estimates as recently published, which suggested it could top $70 billion. Several media outlets reported last month that OpenAI was on track to achieve this annual revenue of nearly $70 billion, originally reported by the "Financial Times".

The discrepancy appears to stem from OpenAI's investors wanting to compare the company's figures directly with those of its competitor, Anthropic. This comparison particularly focuses on how revenue is accounted for through cloud providers. OpenAI did not initially respond to a request for comment. Both OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI companies frequently report the "annualized revenue" as a key growth metric.

This metric involves projecting the revenue of a shorter period, such as the prior month, onto a full year.
