OpenAI made its Daybreak AI system available to the Ukrainian government for free, with the arrangement becoming public on September 23 during the UN General Assembly.

We track BTC, but we only have 1 price point in that window. The series is stored every half hour, so newer events will have it. Computing it from two points would not be a reaction, it would be a coincidence.
