During the introduction of GPT-5 this month, @OpenAI execs spent almost 50% of the 77-minute presentation talking about developers and coding. They mentioned the word “code” 46 times. The launch included extensive live coding demonstrations, API announcements, developer tooling

While Chinese models haven't fully caught up in raw capability, their rapid trajectory and cost efficiencies are dismantling long-held assumptions about AI's competitive barriers. Investors, policymakers, and enterprises can't sleep on this rising competition. They must look

🤖GPT-5 was supposed to be @OpenAI's ambitious attempt to solve a critical problem in AI: orchestration for coding and developers. Coding has become THE front line in the competition between LLMs. Before the GPT-5 launch earlier this month, I wrote an analysis for Michael

The key to regaining lost ground and building a durable moat for the Agentic Era will be the ability of OpenAI to address the coding wedge with AI developer productivity tools that help it capture the orchestration layer. For a deeper dive into the coding wedge, read my latest

OpenAI is attempting to regain ground with developers through a multi-pronged orchestration strategy. GPT-5 is the latest piece of that effort, including embedded orchestration intelligence and specific features for coding and developers.

Developer productivity tools have emerged as the strategic high ground, a competitive wedge that every major player is competing to control. That’s because the model that captures the coder ecosystem is positioned to define the infrastructure layer of the agentic era and with the

The tech world is arguing over whether GPT-5 performance is "revolutionary" or "disappointing." This misses the biggest lesson from OpenAI’s latest model release. The new model represents OpenAI’s strategic push further into the orchestration layer, the invisible substrate that
