据知情人士透露，OpenAI预计在今年年底之前，其年化收入将达到或超过700亿美元，这主要得益于其企业业务的快速增长。
OpenAI is expecting to reach or exceed $70 billion in annualized revenue by the end of the year, according to people familiar with the matter, driven largely by growth in its enterprise business.
这些知情人士称，截至9月底，这家ChatGPT开发公司的年化收入约为500亿美元。这一数字是基于较短时期内数据对OpenAI全年销售额的预测。
The ChatGPT-maker’s annualized revenue was roughly $50 billion at the end of September, the people said. The figure represents a projection of OpenAI’s yearly sales based on a shorter period.
这些知情人士还表示，该公司在与投资者讨论最新一轮融资事宜时分享了上述数据，并要求匿名，因为他们讨论的是内部信息。据彭博社9月率先报道，OpenAI正在商谈以1.4万亿美元的估值筹集300亿美元或以上的资金，这笔资金尚未计入。OpenAI拒绝置评。
The company shared the numbers with investors as part of discussions for its latest fundraising effort, said the people, requesting anonymity to discuss private information. The company is in talks to raise $30 billion or more at a $1.4 trillion valuation before the new money, Bloomberg first reported in September. OpenAI declined to comment.
OpenAI、Anthropic及其他人工智能公司经常将年化收入视为关键的增长指标。然而，并非所有公司都以相同的方式计算这一数据。彭博社此前报道，Anthropic的年化收入在7月底已达到650亿美元。
OpenAI, Anthropic and other AI firms have often touted their annualized revenue as a key growth metric. However, not all companies measure it the same way. Anthropic’s annualized revenue hit $65 billion by the end of July, Bloomberg News previously reported.
一些媒体上个月报道称，根据投资者估算，OpenAI当时已经预测其年化收入将接近700亿美元。《金融时报》周四报道称，这一差异源于OpenAI的投资者试图采用与竞争对手Anthropic PBC相同的方法计算OpenAI的年化收入，而后者对云提供商销售收入的计算方式有所不同。
Some outlets reported last month that OpenAI was already projecting nearly $70 billion in annualized revenue, based on investor estimates. The Financial Times reported Thursday that the discrepancy came from OpenAI’s investors attempting to calculate OpenAI’s annualized revenue using the same methods as rival Anthropic PBC, which accounts for sales from cloud providers differently.
周四，在有关OpenAI年化收入将低于此前部分预测的报道传出后，科技股在标准普尔500指数中跌幅居前。纳斯达克100指数下跌1.4%，芯片巨头指数则下跌3.4%。
On Thursday, tech shares led losses in the S&P 500 after reports that OpenAI’s annualized revenue would be lower than some previous estimates. The Nasdaq 100 fell 1.4%. A gauge of chip giants sank 3.4%.
尽管OpenAI以专注于人工智能安全为由，将首次公开募股计划推迟至至少明年，但Anthropic预计最早将于11月进行IPO。
While OpenAI has pushed back plans for an initial public offering until at least next year, citing its focus on AI safety efforts, Anthropic is expected to sell shares in an IPO as soon as November.
据彭博社报道，OpenAI正在与来自阿拉伯联合酋长国的多家投资基金进行谈判，其中包括总部位于阿布扎比的MGX，以助力其新一轮融资。
OpenAI is in talks with multiple investment funds from the United Arab Emirates, including Abu Dhabi-based MGX, to help anchor its new financing round, Bloomberg has reported.
该公司最近一次融资是在今年3月，筹集了1220亿美元，当时其估值达到8520亿美元，上述资金也包含在内。
The company most recently raised a $122 billion round in March at an $852 billion valuation, including the money.
