OpenAI Q2 revenue hits $6.7B as Anthropic overtakes it in sales

OpenAI's second-quarter 2026 revenue rose about 18 percent quarter over quarter to $6.7 billion, up from $5.7 billion in Q1, while its operating loss widened to $12.3 billion from $9.3 billion, according to figures reported by the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg. Over the same period Anthropic more than doubled revenue to roughly $11.6 billion and posted a small adjusted operating profit, passing OpenAI in quarterly sales for the first time. Reports tie the shift to slowing ChatGPT growth against continued momentum for Claude among developers.
