OpenAI's quarterly revenue rose ​about 50% to $10 billion in the ‌third ​quarter, but the ChatGPT maker continued to post steep operating losses, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

OpenAI told investors ⁠its adjusted operating margin improved to -109% from -150% in the prior quarter, according to documents viewed by The ‌Wall Street Journal

OpenAI did not immediately respond to a Reuters ‌request for comment

Meanwhile, the company's ‌operating losses widened to $10.9 billion ‌from $10.1 billion, the ‌WSJ report said

The disclosure comes at ​a time ‌when investors ​are closely scrutinizing the ⁠finances of AI companies, including rival Anthropic as it prepares for an ​IPO ⁠that ⁠could value the AI startup at about $1.4 trillion. This underscores strong ⁠investor appetite for AI companies despite concerns over profitability

The Claude chatbot creator has started a roadshow for the share sale, which is ‌expected to set a benchmark for the ​sector after years of AI-driven investor enthusiasm fueled a flood of capital into the industry
