DAILY UPDATE

OpenAI faces a massive $12 billion loss but keeps pushing forward with new tools like its video app Sora.

Despite heavy losses, OpenAI continues to expand its lineup of apps. Its latest creation, Sora, a video-making app, has gained millions of downloads on iOS but comes with huge daily costs reaching $15 million per day.

  • Sora launched about a month ago and quickly hit 4 million downloads by October 31.

  • The app creates millions of short AI videos daily, each costing around $1.30 to generate.

  • Experts estimate OpenAI spends over $5 billion a year to keep Sora running.

OpenAI is betting big to secure the future of AI video. While the costs are enormous now, experts expect processing prices to drop sharply in coming years. Meanwhile, Sora helps OpenAI gather valuable video-text data that could train the next generation of AI models.

Big Tech Bets Billions on AI

The AI Race Just Went Nuclear — Own the Rails.

Meta, Google, and Microsoft just reported record profits — and record AI infrastructure spending:

  • Meta boosted its AI budget to as much as $72 billion this year.

  • Google raised its estimate to $93 billion for 2025.

  • Microsoft is following suit, investing heavily in AI data centers and decision layers.

While Wall Street reacts, the message is clear: AI infrastructure is the next trillion-dollar frontier.

RAD Intel already builds that infrastructure — the AI decision layer powering marketing performance for Fortune 1000 brands. Backed by Adobe, Fidelity Ventures, and insiders from Google, Meta, and Amazon, the company has raised $50M+, grown valuation 4,900%, and doubled sales contracts in 2025 with seven-figure contracts secured.

Shares remain $0.81 until Nov 20, then the price changes.
