rohanpaul_ai · x · 2026-08-15
OpenAI's annualized revenue has topped $40B, doubling its prior run rate with a 20% month-over-month increase in July. The analysis suggests the company is prioritizing workload capture over immediate margins: lowering inference prices now encourages developers to embed Codex and agents into recurring workflows, creating switching costs that lock in demand later. Anthropic's revenue was also noted to have crossed a similar mark.
