I saw a bunch of people being like, they're worth nothing now.
Like, they're going to go to zero, whatever.
I was like laughing to myself.
I'm like, okay, just wait till the end of the day.
And then we figured out the integration.
We implemented it.
And at the end of the day, we announced like OpenAI is officially supported in OpenCode.
We knew what was going to happen.
And like going all the way back to the OpenNext thing, right?
uh the strategy that we know how to play really well is to pick one temporary bad guy and galvanize all their competitors to push something forward against them um so anthropic was unfortunate in that position uh so we kind of got the rest of the industry to you know support open code support like access to these models in different places because they were all competing with anthropic so these are like nice strategies that you can run in these situations even as a small company
If you get your positioning right, the world just keeps handing you wins that you didn't even expect.
So we never predicted this exact scenario, but our fundamental understanding of the position was right.
If there is a neutral party, all these companies with billions of dollars will kind of use a neutral party to advance their own strategy.
like company's interests.
So it's beneficial to be that thing in the middle.
So at some point, maybe open AI becomes a bad guy that we have to like, kind of galvanize everyone around.
So it's, it's a, I mean, it's why competition is good.
This is kind of exactly how competition plays out.
