Nauti's Take
For small AI teams, the move points to a growing operational priority: capable models do not create trust with customers, regulators, and partners on their own. Teams adopting OpenAI or similar providers should test communication quality, transparency around product changes, and access to accountable contacts alongside API performance and pricing.
