The numbers are staggering, even by Silicon Valley standards. OpenAI just closed a $122 billion funding round at an $852 billion valuation. The AI company now generates $2 billion in revenue per month, up from $1 billion per quarter at the end of 2024 and $1 billion annually just a year after launching ChatGPT.
The round was anchored by Amazon, NVIDIAand SoftBank, with continued participation from Microsoft. The company says ChatGPT now has 900 million weekly active users and is growing revenue four times faster than Google or Meta ever did at comparable stages.
OpenAI says it will use the resoures to build an “AI superapp” that unifies ChatGPT, its coding tool Codex, browsing, and agentic capabilities into one system. The goal is to create a single platform that can understand intent, take action and operate across applications and workflows — replacing disconnected AI tools with one unified agent.
