Applied AISources: OpenAI's ARR is nearing $70B, growing 70%+ since the beginning of Q3, with B2B revenue up 100%+; it added more consumer revenue in Q3 than all of 2025
If OpenAI is really approaching $70B ARR with 70%+ growth since early Q3 and B2B more than doubling, AI infra and assistant spend is no longer experimental line-item territory—it’s core IT and software budget. Expect procurement, security, and CFOs to start treating model vendors like cloud hyperscalers, with multi-year commitments, diversification pressure, and harder ROI scrutiny.
Applied AINvidia launches new AI safety program designed at stopping models escaping their sandboxes
When a major chip vendor starts baking AI safety into both software and hardware, model containment moves from research topic to infra requirement. If you’re building on their stack, expect new guardrail defaults, compliance checklists, and possibly performance tradeoffs you’ll need to account for in deployment plans.
