Kind: business · Impact: medium

## In brief

- OpenAI's quarterly revenue grew about 50 percent to $10 billion, per The Decoder and TechCrunch.
- TechCrunch reports the figure is the first time OpenAI's quarterly revenue crossed $10 billion, up from $6.7 billion in the second quarter.
- Adjusted operating losses climbed to $10.9 billion, and OpenAI is still spending more cash than it brings in.

## Why it matters

OpenAI's growth is driven by enterprise sales, which signals continued demand for its API and business products, while its widening losses show the cost pressure behind the AI market. The Decoder also reports that rival Anthropic runs more efficiently on $17 billion in revenue.
