I run a small SaaS[1], like so many others, that uses AI to generate and optimize SQL. Getting this to perform optimally has been a lot of work and now I wonder if OpenAI is outright stealing this knowledge, which without a doubt is highly valuable to them.

SQL is so ubiquitous and the use case so obvious, there's no way they have not already been tracking performance and benchmaxxing on SQL queries for years.
But I don't think openai will bother to release a competitor, the real threat is that anyone with a decent LLM and a harness to try a few queries will land at the same or a better query within minutes.
It's extremely unlikely that there is anything interesting or novel in the optimisation of a small SaaS SQL
