SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 31 – OpenAI doubled its revenue to $12 billion with around 700 million weekly ChatGPT users and is securing billions more in funding from major investors, including SoftBank and Sequoia Capital.
- In the first seven months of 2025, OpenAI's annualized revenue reached $12 billion, doubling its previous figures, while its ChatGPT platform attracted close to 700 million users engaging on a weekly basis worldwide.

- OpenAI has adjusted its forecast for cash expenditures in 2025, increasing the amount by $1 billion to an estimated $8 billion, reflecting heightened spending on technology and infrastructure.
