OpenAI — Annual Expenses: $9B

NoteThe claim specifies 'Annual Expenses = $9,000M (as of 2024-12)' with context stating 'Total operating costs approximately $9B in 2024.' However, the source text is dated 3/10/2025 and primarily discusses H1 2025 financials, not 2024 annual figures. The source does mention that Anthropic 'was estimated to have lost around $2 billion' in 2024 and that 'both companies were spending over $5 billion a year to fund their operations' (as of August 2025 reporting), but this does not directly confirm OpenAI's 2024 annual operating expenses of $9B. The source provides H1 2025 component costs (R&D $6.7B, sales $2B, stock comp $2.5B for 6 months) but does not explicitly state or confirm OpenAI's full-year 2024 operating expenses. The temporal mismatch (claim is 2024-12, source is primarily 2025 data) and lack of explicit 2024 annual expense confirmation makes this unverifiable from this source.
