Bloomberg reports that OpenAI's annualized revenue has topped $40 billion, roughly doubling its prior run rate. Growth accelerated by more than 20% month-over-month in July, driven by coding software, subscriptions, and ads. Meanwhile, Anthropic claimed its run-rate revenue crossed $47B in May, though analysts suggest the companies may calculate the metric differently.
