SNAPSHOT ROW, excluded from summed aggregates: Oracle's company-wide RPO across all cloud customers, not a single deal. Overlaps almost entirely with named rows already on the ledger (openai-oracle-stargate-2025-09 at $300B, meta-oracle-cloud-2025-10 at ~$20B, and other multi-billion contracts with customers Oracle has not named), so this row exists only to record the disclosure, per the same total_backlog treatment already used for sb-energy-contracted-backlog-2026-09 and coreweave-backlog-2026-08. Scale check: consistent with Oracle's own prior-quarter RPO of $638B (FY2026 Q4) and the $455B figure recorded at FY2026 Q1 in the openai-oracle-stargate row; the growth trajectory across three consecutive quarters is internally consistent. Superseded snapshot: replaces the FY2026 Q1 $455B figure referenced in openai-oracle-stargate-2025-09's notes as the most current RPO read; that row's notes are left as a historical record of the September 2025 print rather than edited, per the house rule against silent overwrites.
Conditions: Oracle's fiscal Q1 FY2027 results (quarter ended 2026-08-31, reported 2026-09-10) disclosed total Remaining Performance Obligations of $664B, up $209B year over year and $26B sequentially from the $638B reported at FY2026 Q4. Management said roughly half should convert to revenue within 36 months, contingent on building and delivering the contracted data-center capacity on schedule; Bank of America analysts estimate over 50% of RPO traces to OpenAI. Oracle booked more than $30B of new AI cloud contracts and delivered 850MW of additional data-center capacity in the quarter.

Oracle to provide Meta with training and deployment capacity alongside Meta's existing cloud providers. Status is binding on the strength of Oracle's public confirmation (CNBC, 2025-10-16); the dollar value is Bloomberg's reported ~$20B from the September talks, kept at media_reported with its own as_of date since neither company has stated a figure. Announced the row's date as the confirmation date, not the talks date.
Conditions: Oracle confirmed the existence of a Meta cloud deal on 2025-10-16 without disclosing terms; the ~$20B multi-year value comes from Bloomberg's reporting of the talks on 2025-09-19 and was never officially stated.

- $13.33M per MW-year
- First revenue
- 2027
The largest verified compute contract on record: OpenAI to purchase $300B of computing power from Oracle over roughly five years starting 2027, part of the Stargate program, delivered from about 4.5 GW of capacity per the July 2025 Oracle-OpenAI development agreement (Bloomberg). Corroborated by Oracle's own FY26 Q1 release the day before the WSJ report: RPO up 359% to $455B on 'four multi-billion-dollar contracts with three different customers'. Held in the candidate queue at ledger launch until a primary source and two tier-1 URLs were captured; promoted the same day.
Conditions: Neither company has press-released the $300B figure; it was reported by WSJ on 2025-09-10 and subsequently confirmed by OpenAI per CNBC. March 2026: the planned 600 MW Abilene flagship expansion was scrapped after financing talks stalled (Bloomberg), with capacity redistributed across other sites; the 4.5 GW program and the contract itself remained in effect per the same reporting.

PROGRAM ENVELOPE, excluded from every summed total: the January 2025 Stargate announcement of intent to invest $500B over four years in US AI infrastructure. The discrete contracts inside it get their own rows as they sign, most notably the $300B OpenAI-Oracle compute contract (openai-oracle-stargate-2025-09); summing the envelope and its contents would double count by construction. Circular: the operational partner is the anchor customer of the capacity the JV builds.
Conditions: Intent to invest $500B over four years, $100B initially, targeting 10 GW. SoftBank holds financial responsibility, OpenAI operational responsibility; initial equity funders SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle and MGX. By late 2025 the program reported nearly 7 GW of planned capacity and over $400B of investment across announced sites.
