About this listen
Sam Altman made waves this week with a bold X post on Thursday, revealing OpenAI raked in over 1 billion dollars in annual recurring revenue in the past month purely from its API business, not ChatGPT subscriptions. Business Insider reports Altman crowed that the API team is doing amazing work powering startups like Perplexity and Harvey, as OpenAI eyes new revenue streams amid skyrocketing compute costs and 1.4 trillion dollars in spending commitments. This underscores a pivotal shift, with the company now testing ads in ChatGPT after Altman once called them a last resort, and CFO Sarah Friar floating model licensing deals that could snag a cut of downstream hits like drug breakthroughs, per OpenAIs podcast Monday.
Whispers in AI circles point to Altmans first India trip in nearly a year, slated for mid-February around the India AI Impact Summit in New Delhi from February 16 to 20. CNBC TV18, TechCrunch, and ET Now cite sources saying hell join closed-door meetings with government bigwigs, startup founders, and execs from Nvidia, Google, Meta, and Anthropic, while OpenAI hosts an invite-only schmooze fest on February 19 for VCs and insiders. Unconfirmed plans could shift, but they signal Indias boom as ChatGPTs top download market and number two in users, despite monetization hurdles met by the cheap ChatGPT Go plan. No public appearances or fresh social buzz beyond the revenue flex, keeping the OpenAI chief in low-key mogul mode as global eyes turn to his next power plays.
