It’s reported that there are 15.5 million paid users of ‘Chat GPT’. That is exposed to open AI within the means of recent funding rounds.
Open AI recently informed a number of the shareholders that the chat GPT paid users increased from 5.8 million a yr ago to fifteen.5 million at the tip of last yr, in line with D.
Which means the annual repetitive sales (ARR) of the chat GPT at the tip of last yr is at the least $ 4 billion. Monthly revenue is over $ 330 million.
It is usually reported that the API’s usage has increased seven times in comparison with the start of the yr. Sales Force and T Mobile include Open AI API. They’ve an annual contract.
Lately, a $ 200 Chat GPT Pro has been found to be hit. It’s reported that it has exceeded the profits of the corporate’s $ 20 monthly Chat GPT Enterprise.
As such, Open AI is thought to have increased the variety of paid users through the launch of ‘GPT-4O’, which added voice function in May last yr, ‘O1’ in September, and ‘O1-Pro’ in December.
The remarks have emerged within the midst of an open AI to draw $ 40 billion in recent investments with a maximum of $ 340 billion. It is because in an effort to raise the company value of $ 15.7 billion on the time of investment on the time of investment in October last yr, it’s mandatory to indicate such earnings growth in a couple of months.
As well as, sources are negotiating to scale back 20% of the 20% profit distribution that Microsoft (MS) takes when using a chat GPT through Azure Service. On this case, Microsoft’s revenue allocation decreases to 16%, which may also help to extend the profit of open AI and attract investment.
Open AI’s total sales in 2024 haven’t been revealed. Nevertheless, Open AI expects $ 4 billion in sales last fall by subscribing to Chat GPT. Along with the profits generated by the API service and the yr -end Chat GPT Pro, it is anticipated to exceed expectations.
At the tip of last yr, the Sarah Prier Open AI CFO said that a $ 2000 fee system is offered monthly, which is anticipated to be applied to high -end coding agents that shall be released this yr. Sam Altman, CEO, explained that “AI can join the workforce by the tip of the yr.”
After all, the recent chase of Deep Chic is a stumbling block. Deep Chic is seducing the corporate with API fees which might be less expensive than Open AI. Altman CEO also said that he would proceed to lower the fee on the Reddit event.
Nevertheless, the proportion of APIs within the open AI revenue is small, and sales of 75% of sales are generated by subscriptions to the chat GPT paid consumer.
Currently, the entire chat GPT users are 350 million. The proportion of paid users can be known to be 5-6%.
