OpenAI looms over earnings from tech hyperscalers
Summary
OpenAI has become a major market mover ahead of quarterly earnings from Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft, with investors treating its revenue and spending as a proxy for the AI trade. A Wall Street Journal report that OpenAI missed growth targets sent chip and cloud stocks lower, a claim OpenAI called "ridiculous," and the company now faces a high-profile legal dispute involving CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk. Amazon announced OpenAI models will be available on AWS, expanding cloud customers' model choices, while Microsoft and Amazon remain major OpenAI investors and partners. Analysts highlight risks from OpenAI's compute diversification away from Microsoft and competition from Alphabet's Gemini and Meta's newer proprietary models, making OpenAI both a strategic partner and competitive threat to hyperscalers.
