AI BriefingA Business That Grows With the Value of Intelligence
Key point
OpenAI is rapidly growing its business model and revenue in line with the value of intelligence and the scaling of compute resources.
Details
ChatGPT has evolved beyond a simple experimental tool into core infrastructure deeply embedded in individuals' daily lives and companies' work processes. Under the principle of expanding its business model in proportion to the value that intelligence provides, OpenAI has built a platform business spanning consumer subscriptions, enterprise workflow subscriptions, and the API.
Recently, it has also been expanding its business scope into commerce and advertising areas that help users make decisions. This growth is accelerated through a Flywheel structure in which Compute, frontier research, products, and monetization interlock and drive one another.
Indeed, between 2023 and 2025, Compute grew 9.5x from 0.2GW to about 1.9GW, while Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) surged more than 10x from $2 billion to over $20 billion.
To secure compute resources, OpenAI moved away from a single-supplier structure and built a diversified ecosystem to secure Compute certainty. It is also strategically allocating premium hardware and low-cost infrastructure according to model importance, maximizing cost efficiency.
