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 but attributes it to 2025-12 (December 2025 / end of year), while the source shows this was a mid-year projection that was subsequently revised upward to $9B. The source also confirms $20B revenue for 2025 (matching the claim's context), but the cash burn figure appears to have been updated from $8.5B to $9B in the October 2025 revised partnership terms. This represents a direct contradiction of the specific cash burn value when comparing the final/revised figure ($9B) to the claimed figure ($8.5B).
