OpenAI hits $12 billion in annualized revenue, The Information reports https://www.reuters.com/business/openai-hits-12-billion-annu...

So about the same revenue as SpaceX.

SpaceX is unique.

OpenAI is one of many.

SpaceX has a price advantage over their competitors, not a capability advantage.

Putting things in orbit has been possible for ~70 years

Frequency of launches is a capability.

Cessnas have a price advantage over Boeings, not a capability advantage.

Putting things in air has been possible for ~120 years.

> OpenAI is one of many.

Maybe to you as a tech person who is online a lot/reads message boards/etc.

I don't think my mother in law/the average person knows Claude, Gemini, etc. but I surely overhear young kids/average people on trains talking about "ChatGPT" almost exclusively

Let's see how the inevitable patent wars shake out.

The many being companies that no one has heard of and only have a following here.

But what's SpaceX's revenue growth rate?

OpenAI will likely be a huge business. Just adding a datapoint for reference.

Don't worry, they might be making a loss on each transaction but they'll make it up in volume..

They have invested how much money and still not producing enough volume?
