🔥OpenAI Accuses Anthropic of $8B "Revenue Inflation"

  • OpenAI’s Chief Revenue Officer Denise Dresser stated in an internal memo that Anthropic is overstating its $30 billion annual run rate by approximately $8 billion by recording gross revenue from sales routed through cloud partners AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.

  • While both gross and net accounting methods comply with U.S. GAAP, OpenAI maintains that its net reporting approach for Microsoft sales more closely aligns with public-company standards — a distinction that could prove significant as both companies prepare for potential IPOs.

  • Ramp corporate card data shows Anthropic now holds 30.6% of enterprise AI-paying customers compared to OpenAI’s 35.2%, with a projected market share crossover expected within the next two months, adding context to the timing of Dresser’s memo.

🛰️ Amazon buys Globalstar for $11.6B to rival Starlink

  • Amazon has announced the acquisition of satellite communications company Globalstar for $11.5 billion, paying $90 per share in cash.

  • The deal is intended to significantly strengthen Amazon’s position in the satellite internet market and accelerate its ability to compete with Elon Musk’s SpaceX Starlink.

  • Amazon recently rebranded its satellite internet project from Project Kuiper to Leo and has already launched more than 240 low-Earth orbit satellites since April 2025, with partners including United Launch Alliance and SpaceX.

  • The company first revealed plans six years ago to build a large constellation of thousands of satellites to deliver high-speed, low-latency internet to consumers, businesses, and governments using compact, square-shaped user terminals.


📰 Top News

👑 Meta overtakes Google in global ad revenue

  • Meta is projected to overtake Google as the world’s largest digital advertising company by the end of 2026, according to Emarketer’s latest forecast.

  • Meta is expected to generate $243 billion in global ad revenue, slightly ahead of Google’s projected $239.5 billion.

  • Meta’s ad revenue is forecasted to grow at 24.1% in 2026 — nearly double Google’s 12% growth rate — while Google’s share of global digital ad spending has been steadily declining since 2021.

  • Emarketer analysts attribute Meta’s strong performance to its advanced advertising tools such as Advantage+ and AI-generated creative, noting that advertisers are prioritizing measurable results over legal or reputational concerns.
