So. About @OpenAI. I've been bombarded by sales calls from rival LLM companies seeking some opportunistic business wins. That's fair game and business is a contact sport so I get it. And we were already evaluating backup providers as a hedge before the drama. But the reason we're sticking with OpenAI beyond just the fact that their models are excellent is because they made a commitment to @BeMyEyes before that was a sexy thing to do. They prioritized accessibility when no one was looking. And they got in the trench with us to build a great product we call Be My AI™ even though it's close to meaningless for them from a revenue perspective. Thank you @sama, @bradlightcap, @JessicaShieh, and the many others that helped us along the way. I'm not going to opine on the Board drama except for one thing: We are 100% behind OpenAI because they and their people are phenomenal - both technically and personally.

Now 715. I should note that this includes colleagues with tenuous visa situations, a colleague who was literally in the hospital with the birth of their first child, signatories in the air on their way to Thanksgiving break, and many others. The support here was shocking
