A great workplace doesn't happen by accident. When you give talented people the freedom to think outside the box, innovation follows. Thank you to @SFNet_National for including us in the 2026 Great Places to Work issue. Read the full feature here: bit.ly/4wzXFyN

Wild chart from Jim Reid at Deutsche Bank, showing how much OpenAI is expected to burn before turning a profit. A couple things stand out also: How small the $AMZN burn really was for its first 8 years. How big the $UBER burn was before ultimately getting in the black

🎙️Had a blast chatting with @may_habib, founder and CEO of @Get_Writer, one of the fastest-growing enterprise AI companies! ✨We discussed her journey founding a GenAI company before the ChatGPT craze, building an enterprise-grade product and GTM motion with 200%+ net retention (!), what role RAG and vectorDBs have in the enterprise, and much more! May is a second-time founder and dropped a bunch of gems for anyone out there building in #AI. 🎧Tune in and subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts: YouTube: youtu.be/oJwkiee3Rds Spotify: spoti.fi/49ZVCsh Apple:  apple.co/3V1krzR Podcast Addicts: bit.ly/4bXjTRH Madrona site (includes transcript): bit.ly/3Vb3VNT

We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett Shear and OAI's new leadership team and working with them. And we’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.
