OpenAI revenue gap sparks AI stock sell-off

Investors got two very different snapshots of OpenAI’s sales pace: nearly $50 billion in annualized net revenue, versus the $68 billion figure widely reported earlier that included partner revenue. The accounting difference isn’t an $18 billion vanishing act, but it was enough to send AI-linked shares lower and renew doubts about whether rapid growth can justify sky-high valuations and immense computing costs.

Gartner predicts 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027

Gartner expects more than 40% of agentic AI projects to be canceled by the end of 2027 as costs mount, business value stays murky, or safeguards prove inadequate. “Agent washing” adds another wrinkle: only about 130 of thousands of vendors claiming to offer AI agents may have genuine agents. Organizations can improve their odds by testing a narrowly defined task, setting measurable success and stop-or-go criteria, and limiting agent permissions until they demonstrate results.
