Big Takeaway: OpenAI's revenue is projected to rocket to $1.3 billion annually after ChatGPT's massive success.
OpenAI has grown from just $28 million in 2022 to $1.3 billion. That's 46x growth in a year 🤯
But sustaining this growth presents real challenges as competitors like Google, Meta, and Anthropic ready rival AI models to take ChatGPT’s crown.
An open-source alternative to GPT-4 could also undermine its paid premium model if performance matches.
