TickerTrends tracked OpenAI ARR reaching $44.3B as of Aug. 12, up from $42.6B on Jul. 29.
Bloomberg reported OpenAI had surpassed a $40B revenue run rate as of Jul. 31, providing an external reference point for the TickerTrends tracking.
The lower chart shows the shorter-term trend, with tracked ARR currently growing 11.6% month over month.
The tone of Bloomberg's article is so entertaining ("revenue has accelerated in recent months", "bolstering the company's plans for a Wall Street debut"). Nowhere do they mention that the $40bn is actually below (by about 10%) the estimates that had already been out there from TickerTrends and others. It's not as bullish of a story as they want it to be!
