What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

OpenAI confirmed a $300 billion strategic deal with Oracle. Separately, reports detailed that OpenAI's annualized revenue run rate was just under $50 billion at the end of September, which is lower than previously reported figures. The gap between the two numbers is attributed to how revenue is counted, not lost sales.
