TechCrunch reports some AI startups stretch ARR metrics while investors may overlook public overstatements.

Suno CEO Mikey Shulman announced the AI music platform has reached 2 million paid subscribers and is approaching $300 million in ARR, up from $200 million just three months after its $250 million funding round at a $2.45 billion valuation.

Bootstrapped AI cloud startup Runpod has achieved a $120 million annual revenue run rate, attracting 500,000 developers after gaining initial traction from a post on Reddit. The company recently secured a $20 million seed round.
