OpenAI achieved better profit margins this year through its paid products, according to The Information, as it races to maintain its leading position in the artificial intelligence field. The company's internal 'compute margin' — a metric that measures the share of revenue after the costs of running models for users of its enterprise and consumer products — improved. As of last October, the company's compute margin reached 70%, up from 52% at the end of 2024 and down from the figure in January 2024. A spokesperson for OpenAI said the company has not published the numbers and declined to comment further.
