OpenAI's annualized revenue run rate is nearing $70 billion, Axios reports, citing people familiar with its financials. The figure has grown more than 70% since the start of the third quarter, while business-to-business revenue has grown more than 100% over the same period. Axios also reports that OpenAI added more consumer revenue in the third quarter than it added during all of 2025. The outlet could not immediately establish OpenAI's expenses, which would put that growth in financial context.
