OpenAI — Annual Expenses: $22B

NoteThe claim states OpenAI's annual expenses = $22B (exact: 22,000,000,000). The source provides several expense-related figures for 2025: (1) H1 2025 R&D of $6.7B, (2) H1 2025 stock compensation of $2.5B, (3) inference costs of $8.4B for full year 2025, (4) projected cash burn of $9B in 2025, and (5) projected full-year 2025 revenue of $13B. The claim's context mentions these same figures ($8.4B inference, $6.7B R&D in H1, $2.5B stock comp in H1) and infers ~$22B total spending. However, the source does NOT explicitly state total annual expenses of $22B. The source provides components (R&D, inference, stock comp, cash burn) but does not aggregate them into a single $22B annual expense figure. The inference from components is reasonable but not directly confirmed by the source. The claim appears to be an inference/calculation rather than a stated figure in the source.
