OpenAI is on track to more than triple its revenue this year, reaching an estimated $12.7 billion, fueled by a surge in demand for its AI-powered tools, according to Bloomberg. This marks a significant jump from the $3.7 billion it earned last year. Looking ahead, the company anticipates its revenue will surpass $29.4 billion in 2025.

Despite this impressive financial growth, OpenAI faces substantial operational costs, including high expenditures on AI chips, data centers, and talent acquisition.


To support its expansion, OpenAI is reportedly finalizing a massive $40 billion funding round, led by SoftBank Group Corp. Other investors in discussions include Magnetar Capital, Coatue Management, Founders Fund, and Altimeter Capital Management.

Beyond its financial momentum, OpenAI continues to enhance its flagship AI, ChatGPT. This week, the company introduced native image generation for GPT-4o, allowing users to upload and modify images. Initially rolled out to Pro, Plus, and Teams subscribers, the feature’s availability for free-tier users was postponed due to overwhelming demand, as confirmed by CEO Sam Altman.

Additionally, OpenAI announced its adoption of Anthropic’s AI integration standard, known as Model Coordination Protocol (MCP). This open-source standard enables AI models like ChatGPT and Claude to interact seamlessly with external data sources, applications, and tools. Altman revealed that MCP support is now integrated into OpenAI’s Agents SDK, with plans to extend it to the ChatGPT desktop app and response API in the near future.

Anthropic’s Chief Product Officer, Mike Krieger, welcomed OpenAI’s adoption, calling MCP a “thriving open standard” already integrated into thousands of applications.

With its soaring revenue, major funding plans, and continuous AI advancements, OpenAI is cementing its position at the forefront of the AI revolution.
