A post claims OpenAI's annualized revenue is actually $20B less than the $70B figure Axios reported last month.
The quoted original says OpenAI's annualized revenue is $50B, not $70B. OpenAI told investors revenue was "approaching $50B" at the end of September; the $70B came from OpenAI's own investors "grossing up" the number to match Anthropic. OpenAI let the narrative run without correcting it, then declined to comment.
