Microsoft’s biggest AI customers are still largely technology companies, according to Bloomberg, with OpenAI contributing about 70% of the company’s AI revenue in its most recent fiscal year, or $24.1 billion. The report also identified other major Azure AI customers, including ByteDance, Meta, Adobe, Perplexity, Sierra, Ant Group, Meituan, and Tencent. As of June this year, ByteDance was estimated to be spending more than $1 billion annually on Microsoft’s cloud platform, while Meta’s annual spending was said to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Microsoft had previously disclosed that its AI model marketplace had around 100,000 customers, but revenue remains concentrated among a small group of large technology and AI companies. Bloomberg said that pattern may suggest AI has yet to achieve large-scale commercial adoption across the broader economy.
