OpenAI — Annual Cash Burn: $8.5B

NoteThe claim states OpenAI's annual cash burn as of 2025-12 (end of 2025) is $8.5B. However, the source contains a direct contradiction: it first projects $8.5B cash burn for full-year 2025 (from September 2025 disclosure), but then explicitly revises this upward to 'approximately $9B in 2025' in a later section discussing revised partnership terms from October 2025. The revised $9B figure supersedes the earlier $8.5B projection. Since the claim is dated 2025-12 (December 2025, i.e., end of year), the more recent projection of $9B is the operative figure the source provides for that period. The $8.5B was a mid-year projection that was later revised upward. The claim's exact stored value of 8,500,000,000 contradicts the source's revised figure of approximately 9,000,000,000.
