[Translation] From $1.4 trillion to $600 billion: how OpenAI is revising its own plans

Even last fall, the company was considered the engine of the entire AI industry, and Sam Altman was its triumphant leader. Microsoft, Oracle, Nvidia, SoftBank all sought to become his allies.

The company signed several strategic deals worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Immediate plans included the start of construction ofStargate , the largest data center in history, announced by President Trump a year ago. ChatGPT remained the leader among AI chatbots. The Sora platform was announced, promising to change multimedia content production forever. Then came the OpenClaw agent, a supposedly revolutionary product that could independently interact with the user's computer.

In a word, OpenAI was looked at with admiration. Sam Altman became as famous as Elon Musk himself - and in a good way.

Finally, in early 2026, OpenAI was named a Company year.

And now, at the beginning of the second quarter, everything has turned upside down.
