5/ You can’t answer that from the outside.

You need real companies, real workflows, real users, and real constraints.

7/ OpenAI’s equity stake in Holdings also makes the alignment unusually strong.

Deployment informs product. Product informs research. Research improves models. The loop gets tighter the deeper the work gets.

8/ My role is to help with that loop: technical direction, real-world measurement, and turning what we learn in deployment into faster product and model improvements.
