Ths compares with just US$28 million in the entire last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Information first reported on OpenAI\u2019s revenue, including that it lost around US$540 million in 2022 developing GPT-4 and ChatGPT. A representative for the start-up didn\u2019t immediately respond to requests for comment outside normal business hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OpenAI is regarded as one of several companies at the forefront of generative AI, which can create content from videos to poetry out of a few simple user commands. Since debuting its bot in November, OpenAI has worked with companies from fledgling firms to major corporations to incorporate the technology in their businesses and products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This month, it launched a corporate version of ChatGPT with added features and privacy safeguards, the start-up\u2019s most significant effort yet to attract a broad mix of business customers and boost revenue from its best-known product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rollout of ChatGPT Enterprise is a move forward in OpenAI\u2019s plans to make money from its ubiquitous chatbot, which is enormously popular but very expensive to operate because robust AI models require lots of computing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The San Francisco-based start-up has already taken steps toward generating revenue from ChatGPT, such as by selling a premium subscription and offering companies paid access to its application programming interface, which developers can use to add the chatbot to other apps.
