SOURCE EVIDENCE

"Oracle has vast data center agreements with OpenAI in the form of its commitments to the Stargate project. The firm's issue is that the scale of the buildout exceeds its wealth, meaning it is highly dependent on Sam Altman's company actually having sufficient funds to pay on schedule. Leaked OpenAI financials for 2024 and 2025 cast doubt on its ability to do so."
