OpenAI — Annual Cash Burn: $5B

NoteThe claim asserts OpenAI's annual cash burn as of 2024-12 (end of 2024) was $5 billion. However, the source discusses 2025 figures ($9 billion net loss) and projects future years through 2028. The source does not provide 2024 year-end figures. The temporal mismatch is critical: the claim is about 2024-12, but the source's most recent actual data point is for 2025 ("this year" in a November 2025 article). The $9 billion figure for 2025 contradicts the $5 billion claim for 2024-12, but these are different fiscal years. Since the claim explicitly specifies 'as of 2024-12' and the source provides no 2024 data to verify against, this is technically unverifiable for the claimed period. However, the source does contradict the additional context provided in the claim ("~$4B revenue") by stating $13 billion in sales for 2025. Given the temporal mismatch and lack of 2024 data in the source, the most accurate verdict is that the claim cannot be verified against this source for the specified time period.
