OpenAI has submitted a document advocating for the inclusion of datacenter spending within the "American manufacturing" category. This document was submitted one week ago and specifically calls for federal loan guarantees to support this initiative.

The push for this classification reflects OpenAI"s ongoing efforts to align its operations with broader economic policies. The document emphasizes the importance of recognizing datacenter expenditures as a vital component of American manufacturing.

In related developments, recent reports indicate that US consumer sentiment has fallen to its second lowest level on record, highlighting ongoing economic challenges. Additionally, the US goods economy has seen shipments decline by 15% year-over-year, further underscoring the current economic landscape.

As OpenAI continues to advocate for its position, the implications of such a classification remain to be seen.
