The highly anticipated OpenAI is accelerating its plan to go public in the United States later this year, with widespread expectations that its valuation could break through the one trillion dollar mark. As the capital market focuses heavily on it, this leader in the artificial intelligence field has delivered an impressive financial performance.

According to internal documents, OpenAI's annualized revenue has officially surpassed 40 billion US dollars, doubling from the end of last year. In just the past July, its monthly revenue saw a more than 20% month-over-month growth, demonstrating a very strong momentum in commercial expansion. At the same time, its main competitor Anthropic also plans to proceed with an IPO this year. Previously, it had announced that its annualized revenue reached 47 billion US dollars in May. However, due to differences in accounting practices between the two companies, it is difficult to directly compare their financials.

Looking back at recent business developments, OpenAI's rapid revenue growth mainly stems from the simultaneous progress of multiple product lines. Not only has the revenue from its core paid subscription layer continued to rise, but its early advertising business has also gradually become profitable. In the enterprise market, the platform's Codex coding agent and enterprise collaboration tools have received widespread market recognition. To consolidate its market share in the competitive industry, OpenAI has also flexibly adjusted its pricing and market strategies, lowering the prices of some models to attract cost-conscious developers.

Despite its rapid commercialization, OpenAI has also experienced some personnel turbulence recently. The departure of its former Chief Revenue Officer Denise Dresser initially raised concerns about the future performance of its corporate business. However, the company quickly completed the transition, with Dali Rajic, who previously worked at the cybersecurity giant Wiz, taking over the new position. As two leading AI companies move toward the capital market, whether this aggressive growth model can continue under the backdrop of significant capital expenditures and intense R&D efforts will become an important indicator for Wall Street to observe the development of the industry.
