And at the time, it even looked like Oracle had won that over all the other possible providers of data center capacity. But what we Found out in the subsequent couple of months is that OpenAI was making a lot of commitments to a lot of companies, $1.4 trillion in total, which at some point we all realize they didn't actually intend to live up to.
