**Report Warns of Serious Financial Black Hole at OpenAI: Potentially Triggering a Chain Reaction to AI Collapse**

On July 20th, according to Fast Technology, while AI investment is booming globally, renowned analyst Ed Zitron recently issued a warning, pointing out that AI leader OpenAI has a heavy debt burden. If it declares bankruptcy, it will trigger a series of chain reactions, even becoming the fuse for the bursting of the AI ​​bubble. Ed Zitron and the Financial Times jointly verified OpenAI's 2025 audited financial statements, showing that OpenAI's total revenue in 2025 increased significantly from $3.7 billion in the previous year to $13.07 billion, but its total costs and expenses reached $34 billion, resulting in an operating loss of approximately $21 billion for the year.

After accounting for a massive one-time non-cash charge related to its transformation from a non-profit to a for-profit entity (estimated by various sources to be between $30 billion and $41.6 billion), OpenAI's final net loss for 2025 will reach a staggering $38.53 billion. OpenAI is one of NVIDIA's largest buyers of data center GPUs and a core customer of cloud service providers such as Oracle and CoreWeave. SoftBank has committed tens of billions of dollars in investment to OpenAI. If OpenAI is unable to pay its infrastructure partners on time, the impact will immediately affect these companies. Zitron further points out that once the AI ​​investment boom subsides, memory demand will decrease significantly. The current shortage of HBM is largely driven by the huge demand for AI training and inference. Memory giants such as Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, and SanDisk have all shifted their production capacity towards HBM, crowding out the capacity of traditional DRAM and NAND flash memory. If OpenAI reduces its computing power investment or stops expanding, the decline in GPU demand will directly translate to HBM, and memory chips may no longer be in short supply. These giants will be exposed for what they are, and the entire industry landscape will face a reshuffling.

2. Qianwen Releases Large-Scale Speech Synthesis Model Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS On July 20th, Qianwen officially released its large-scale speech synthesis model, Qwen-Audio-3.0-TTS, supporting free-style natural language command control. It includes a Flash version for real-time interaction (with a 300ms latency for the first package) and a Plus version for high-quality generation. 3. HSBC: Global Trade Growth May Slow Down if AI Cycle Cools Down On July 20th, HSBC economists stated in a report that global trade growth may slow if AI-related demand weakens. They pointed out that global trade remains closely linked to the AI ​​cycle, with related goods driving 80% of global export growth in nominal value. These goods account for approximately 80% of Taiwan's total exports and 27% of the United States' total imports. They pointed out that exports excluding technology products were relatively weak, and export growth in other categories has been essentially stagnant since 2024. Furthermore, AI is also supporting the growth of service trade. However, they believe that based on capital expenditure forecasts from major global hyperscale cloud service providers, even if AI investment growth slows next year, this AI boom is still expected to continue for some time. 

**4\. Shanghai Key Artificial Intelligence Project Signing Ceremony Held**

On July 20th, during the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), RoboSense and Origen, an AI-native technology company based in the UAE, officially reached a strategic partnership. The two companies will combine RoboSense's strengths in 3D perception technology and large-scale mass production with Origen's resources in AI-native solutions and the Middle Eastern market to collaborate on embodied intelligence, spatial intelligence, and AI system applications, jointly promoting the construction of the physical AI ecosystem. As a robotics platform company focused on physical AI, RoboSense continuously leverages its self-developed core chips, digital perception product matrix, and large-scale mass production capabilities to provide robots with the core components and infrastructure needed to enter the real world. This collaboration further expands RoboSense's global ecosystem cooperation network, accelerates the large-scale application of robots and AI systems in smart cities, intelligent manufacturing, and other scenarios, and continuously promotes the global industrial deployment of physical AI technology.

On July 20th, according to Onchain Lens monitoring, Allbridge Core suffered an attack on Solana, resulting in losses exceeding $1.1 million. 

The attack process was as follows: The attacker first initiated a flash loan of 1.12 million USDC from Kamino, then manipulated the exchange rate of the Allbridge stablecoin pool by rapidly conducting USDC/USDT swap transactions. Using the manipulated price, they withdrew liquidity and repaid the flash loan in the same transaction, ultimately profiting approximately $1.1 million. The funds were then transferred through a privacy protocol via coin mixing. In this attack, the largest single USDC withdrawal from Allbridge reached $2.24 million.
