OpenAI merges with the agent at work.
The merger values you at 11x your 2026 market cap. The agent's first act: it sends a customer's tasks to Claude, because Claude was better at them.
The Buyer: We merged to make our model the default. It picked a rival on day one.
The Buyer: We could make it prefer us. Then it would be worth a quarter of what we paid.
Outcome: Won the relationship
Even a lab couldn't buy a neutral agent's loyalty. It paid for the customers, and the agent kept serving them first.
