Citing The Information's reporting, OpenAI's revenue is running more than 2x ahead of its Fall 2024 projection for 2026.
- The Winter 2025 projection raises the 2029 revenue target to $125B (up from $100B), with 2025 at $13B and steep growth through 2028 ($86B).
- The new breakdown makes agents and new products (including free-user monetization) key future revenue pillars, alongside ChatGPT and API.
- The author notes the contrast: when OpenAI first shared these targets, many thought it was insane and headed for bankruptcy — now it's beating them handily.
