💼 OpenAI challenges Silicon Valley rules

The company is refusing to play the role of a supplier or an acquisition target for Big Tech giants. Instead, OpenAI is building its own ecosystem, which creates a direct threat to the dominance of Apple's products.

🌍 OpenAI is changing the startup development model: instead of an exit strategy through a sale, companies are now aiming for direct confrontation with market giants, intensifying competition for talent and control over devices.

👤 This is a signal that the era of "smart devices" may shift from traditional hardware to AI-centric platforms that OpenAI plans to control.
