OpenAI’s operating losses, the company that created ChatGPT, were $900 million greater than its revenue in Q3 2026, reports TASS.

According to these figures, compared with the second quarter of this year, the company’s revenue rose by almost 50 % to $10 billion. However, the adjusted operating losses that it reported to investors increased over the same period from $10.1 billion to $10.9 billion.

These calculations do not take into account OpenAI’s expenses for compensating its employees with company shares, which rose to $2.6 billion in Q3. Including those payments, the company’s adjusted operating loss could amount to roughly $13.5 billion.

Earlier reports said that OpenAI, in a new round of fundraising before its IPO, was able to raise only $11 billion of the planned $30 billion.

According to the WSJ, the decline in investment is attributed to a cooling of investor interest in the artificial‑intelligence sector and increased caution in allocating funds.
