OpenAI — Annual Cash Burn: $8.5B

NoteThe claim states OpenAI's annual cash burn as of 2025-12 (end of 2025) is $8.5B. The source contains conflicting information: (1) A September 2025 projection of $8.5B cash burn for full-year 2025, and (2) A later October 2025 statement projecting $9B cash burn for 2025. The claim uses the $8.5B figure 'as of 2025-12' (December 2025), but by that date, the more recent October 2025 projection of $9B would be the operative figure. The source also confirms $20B revenue for 2025 (matching the claim's context), but the cash burn figure appears to have been revised upward from $8.5B to $9B between September and October 2025. Since the claim is dated 2025-12 but uses a September projection that was superseded by October projections, the $8.5B figure is contradicted by the later $9B projection in the same source.
