Exclusive: I have seen OpenAI's audited financials for 2024 and 2025.
In 2025, OpenAI had $13.07 billion in revenue and $34 billion in costs. $867 million of its revenue came from SoftBank, and $303 million came from Microsoft.

@BGStaniszewski @Will___lloyd Then you aren't aware of the capabilities of the Mythos model. It is a step change in capability over 5.5 in most areas.
English
@Will___lloyd The crazy thing is that this is one of multiple available models. There is no hard reason to suggest that Fable is better than, say, GPT 5.5.

Hard for people who work in or around this stuff to conceive of, but most people in Britain do not give a fuck about AI, you may as well ask why aren’t the BBC writing about the latest update to Microsoft Excel

Britain losing access to Claude fable isn’t on the BBC or Times homepage, 4th on the guardian, 7th on the FT and below the fold on the Telegraph. What are we doing here?

Hegseth wades into latest Anthropic row
Worth noting that the White House are seen to take a more nuanced approach to the AI company than Department of War
Pete Hegseth@PeteHegseth
Three months ago, @DeptofWar kicked @AnthropicAI out of our building—forever. Every passing day proves why that was the right move. 🇺🇸

My interpretation of this all: the US government knew this was coming, but designated Anthropic as a supply chain risk before the public was aware of what Anthropic was planning to do.
Brian Fioca@bfioca
In light of Anthropic’s policy decision, I am withdrawing my amicus brief signature. I can’t truthfully argue they’re not a supply chain risk. 😞

@ryanbrewer Come on man. You talking about basketball or OpenAI? At least give me that.

@BlackHC I thought you worked for Google, are you looking to switch to Anthropic? Or am I missing some layered sarcasm in your message?
English
Please join Anthropic if you're really really good at what you do. It makes sense to help the company that has the best governance so far keep their lead and extend it (and to reward them being principled)
Currently we're in an AI race scenario and the easier it is for them to keep up the lead, the easier it is to preserve safety and negotiate
The worst-case scenario is having multiple actors racing head to head because it makes coordination much harder and it is likely that the companies who are slightly behind will skimp on safety
With a decisive lead that is still possible but at least, the misaligned models will be less capable by more than a bit
Am I wrong?

Im getting tired of seeing ppl quit their jobs and go to Anthropic. It’s easy to join the winning team. It’s hard to stick it out with people that bet on you to help them win. “Mr. Good times” people are doxxing themselves daily in the form of “I’m leaving OpenAI” tweets

@scaling01 hey just wondering why you blocked me? I only follow AI accounts and don't really say anything. You were one of my favourites for AI news.

@patloeber Patrick. I don't want another todo or fitness tracker.

It took ~10 mins to get a working version, then a few prompts to tweak the design. you can try it yourself:
- go to ai.studio/build
- select "Android app" & describe your idea
- wait for the build to finish
- plug in your phone via USB & follow the install instructions
English
we are not far from everyone building their own hyper-personalized mobile apps.
i just vibe coded my own custom todo & fitness tracker in @GoogleAIStudio with zero Android dev experience, and now it’s running on my phone. still feels crazy🤯

@kevinroose Whatever you decide to do in terms of interviews, multiple voices - I am sure it will be good. Is a definite buy for me when it is released. These are just my highly opinionated hot-takes having listened to around 300 audiobooks on Audible the last 10-15 years.
English
@kevinroose You do have a good voice and I think you mentioned on the podcast they have asked you to do the read-through. I think you will do great and since you are the *writer* you implicitly know your own tone.
English
people who listen to audiobooks: do you 1) like it when the author reads the book, rather than a voice actor? 2) like it when there's stuff other than a straight readthrough (interviews, multiple voices, etc.) that makes it more like a podcast? 3) listen at 1x speed?
English
i'm going to start dribbling out some stuff from the book (including excerpts from key source material, including some of the first internal docs that led to the scaling bet at OpenAI) on my s*bstack, sign up to get it!

cover reveal! the FSG design team is insanely goated and i think they created a beautiful object here.
book out on october 6! pre-order now!

@FelixSchlang @SERobinsonJr If you want honesty, I unsubscribed from you some time ago. When they do a launch I will watch the SpaceX official stream and maybe the Scott Mannley summary. That's it. Part lack of novelty. Part kind of hate Elon now. It's not 'the algorithm'. Genuine lack of interest.
English
@SERobinsonJr Same for us. Super slow motion and aerial shots of the launch included. It seems that some accounts (great for them❤️) are heavily boosted and others get the scraps. 🤷♂️

Ouch... last 7 days. Includes my Starship contnet 💀

@_18SixtyTwo What's @dcsandbrook doing in the row in front?

@justalexoki I can’t imagine translators in serious situations are going away any time soon. Hostage situations, business deals can’t afford to have nuance vanish or mistakes about really loving granola flavored socks
