The source text directly states that OpenAI projected full-year 2025 revenue of approximately $13B and cash burn of approximately $8.5B. This matches the claim's figures of $8.5B annual cash burn on $13.1B in revenue for 2025. The $13.1B vs $13B difference is negligible (within ~1%) and falls within normal rounding variation. The source also confirms the ~65% cash burn rate (8.5/13 ≈ 65%) and mentions the $13.8M per day spending rate in H1 2025 context.
