Per Axios, OpenAI's business revenue has more than doubled since July, pushing its annualized run rate toward $70 billion and closing in on Anthropic.
Key points:
- Overall revenue grew more than 70% since the start of Q3
- The consumer business added more revenue this quarter than in all of 2025 combined
- For comparison, Anthropic reportedly expects to exceed a $100 billion annualized revenue run rate
OpenAI is growing extremely fast but still trails Anthropic's expected scale, with the gap between the two leading AI labs narrowing quickly.
