OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, expects about $5 billion in losses on $3.7 billion in revenue this year, CNBC has confirmed.
The New York Times was first to report on OpenAI's financials earlier on Friday after viewing company documents.
OpenAI, which is backed by Microsoft, is currently pursuing a funding round that would value the company at more than $150 billion, people familiar with the matter have told CNBC.
Thrive Capital is leading the round and plans to invest $1 billion, with Tiger Global planning to join as well.
The company will retain its nonprofit segment as a separate entity, a person familiar with the matter told CNBC.
