New leaked documents are showing just how much money Open AI is paying Microsoft.

And the numbers might surprise you.

This is after, obviously, a year of insane deals, rumors of an upcoming IPO from OpenAI.

With all of this, there's a lot of financial scrutiny on Open AI.

It's definitely getting intensified. And with all of this, we have recently

received some leak documents that came from tech blogger Ed Zitron. And he gave a little bit of a

glimpse into Open AI's revenue, their financials, and all of that. And specifically,

their compute costs, which a lot of people have been looking at,

which is an eye-watering number. So according to his report, he said that in 2024, Microsoft

received $493.8 million in revenue share payments from Open AI. What's interesting is that that was last year,

but if you fast forward to this year, that number jumped to $8.65.8 million. And that's just in the

first three quarters of this year. So we have a whole, you know, another third quarter or fourth

quarter that hasn't been reported in those numbers yet. And so at something like, you know,

$865 million, you can assume it's going to be over a billion dollars that they're going

to be paying Microsoft for this year alone. Now, all of this is part of the 20% revenue share

that Open AI agreed to paying Microsoft as part of their previous investment when opening I first came

up with Chad GPT. They needed a lot of money. It was getting insanely popular. And Microsoft came in and

invested $10 billion at the time. They've since invested a little more. So I think total, or actually,

I think it was prior to that. They'd invested $1 billion and a little bit more. So total, I think Microsoft all in is at $13 billion. And with that, I think especially with that $10 billion

that they gave Open AI, they agreed to a 20% revenue share. So 20% of the revenue opening I made,

they were going to pay to Microsoft. Neither people have also publicly confirmed that percentage of the 20% by the way, but this has been reported and leached by a lot of different people.

So this is where things get a little bit more, I guess, tricky. Microsoft already shares revenue with OpenAI.
