AI brief
OpenAI says ChatGPT now reaches 1.2 billion people every week, and its annualized revenue rate is nearing $70 billion, up about 70 percent since the start of Q3. Enterprise sales, the Codex coding assistant and a price war are driving the growth, with Anthropic close behind at a similar run rate.
Why it matters: The figures indicate rapid growth in both ChatGPT usage and OpenAI's revenue, while competition from Anthropic is keeping pace.
