- OpenAI posted Q2 sales of $6.7B, up 18% QoQ, while losses widened from $9.3B to $12.3B — and the ChatGPT-maker told investors its growth later accelerated after that revenue figure disappointed some of them.
- Anthropic saw Q2 sales more than double to $11.6B, crossing ahead of OpenAI on top line and reporting a small operating profit, per WSJ-cited sources.
Why it matters: Anthropic now sits ahead of OpenAI on quarterly revenue ($11.6B vs $6.7B) while also logging an operating profit, while OpenAI's losses grew by $3B quarter-over-quarter — a sharp divergence that reframes which AI lab looks more financially disciplined heading into the next fundraising cycle.
