FT: OpenAI annualized revenue near $50B, about $20B below earlier reports

The Financial Times reports OpenAI's annualized revenue was roughly $50B as of September, not the $70B earlier reports cited. Per Yahoo Finance's account of the FT piece, the $70B came from investor extrapolation from August sales and a reported 70% growth rate. OpenAI is private. Not confirmed by OpenAI on the record.
