The IPO focus makes the Pentagon deal read differently. OpenAI needs revenue metrics that impress public market investors—government contracts are reliable, large, and recurring.

Your personal ChatGPT conversations are valuable in this context, but differently than you might think: not just for model training, but as proof of a data asset that has strategic value to the people buying their services.

There's a narrowing window to shift your AI usage to providers whose incentives actually align with yours. The market has caught up—models are commodities now, the differentiation is who owns your history.
