OpenAI's Deployment Company is the biggest AI move of 2026, and most of the industry hasn't clocked it

OpenAI's Deployment Company is a strategic move that gives them control over AI implementation, allowing them to shape architecture decisions and set defaults. This gives them distribution power, not just professional services. Other AI labs should be nervous as OpenAI brings a captive enterprise channel and immediate field capacity through the Tomoro acquisition. Expect other labs to follow suit within 18 months.
