Just be prepared for OpenAI to pull the rug out from under you at some point... and probably sooner than you realize.
This is always the approach in our industry. During the land rush, you offer very affordable, very favorable terms for people building on your stack.
When they've wiped out most of the competition and have massive marketshare -- they shift from land-rush mode to rent-seeking mode, and your business is either dead entirely or you now live as a sharecropper.
