## Summary

- On June 14, OpenAI announced it would invest $150 million into its Partner Network to train 300,000 certified consultants by year's end.
- Rather than buying people, this is a strategy to bind the ecosystem through certification and partnership programs.
- It also signals that the value of on-site adoption is becoming greater than model competition.
- Small companies have more opportunities in application and operations tailored to domestic work than in selling certifications.
