Per The Guardian, OpenAI told investors 2025 revenue would reach $50B — about $20B below the $70B previously signaled — rattling tech stocks (Nasdaq -1.4%, Nvidia -2.9%, Oracle -5.5%). OpenAI is in early talks to raise $30B at a $1.4T valuation, with the gap partly due to aligning revenue definitions with Anthropic's ($65B).
