◆ 65RelevanceOn a story from TechCrunch AI4h ago

Takeaways
- OpenAI will prioritize long-term scaling over immediate public market transparency.
- Expect continued rapid product shifts without the constraint of quarterly earnings calls.
- Private capital remains the primary fuel for the top of the AI stack.
