OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that the company projects an annual revenue of $70 billion by the end of the year. This figure represents a significant increase from the current annualized revenue of $50 billion, which was reported as of September.

The company's revenue projection methodology now aligns with that of its competitor, Anthropic. This approach incorporates sales generated through cloud partners, a practice that OpenAI has not traditionally utilized in its financial reporting.

Market observers are closely watching the company for further updates regarding its financial performance and potential IPO plans. Future developments in strategic partnerships and new funding rounds are expected to influence the company's valuation trajectory.
