OpenAI’s enterprise revenue has overtaken its ChatGPT consumer revenue, a shift CFO Sarah Friar disclosed at an August investor meeting, signaling enterprise-led growth ahead of the prior year-end forecast.

Friar noted the enterprise-versus-consumer revenue parity has moved up by roughly two quarters, with enterprise now leading the mix after a year-start tilt toward consumer spend.

The CFO highlighted a sustained trend where enterprise revenue exceeds consumer revenue, reversing the early-year 60-40 split in favor of enterprise.

Growth is being driven by Codex, AI coding tools, and the broader adoption of AI agents like ChatGPT Work for more complex tasks with less human input.

Bloomberg and other outlets have covered OpenAI’s progress, including mentions of AI translation assistance in the coverage.

Despite momentum, profitability remains uncertain due to heavy investments in chips, data centers, energy, and computing infrastructure, amid pricing pressure.

The discussion situates OpenAI within a broader AI-in-the-economy context, with insights from Bloomberg and others, while OpenAI did not comment on the revenue figures.
