OpenAI's E-commerce Narrative Still Holds Value

The author believes that despite recent market skepticism, OpenAI's e-commerce narrative isn't dead and remains one of its most interesting business models.
The core takeaway is that if OpenAI aims to be the primary consumer gateway for AI, e-commerce might be the most natural monetization path. The author also notes that competitively, OpenAI can let Anthropic battle rivals like Millennium and Lily head-on, while it continues to push its own consumer gateway strategy.
