    Second paragraph:

    > API customers including Harvey and Legora will be able to build on Astra for Law, bringing this intelligence into their own products and workflows.

    In other words: "no, no, we're not eating our children to prep for the IPO. Don't worry."

      Max Junestrand has consistently said Legora treats the model layer as swappable, selecting across frontier providers rather than building the product around one.

      OpenAI didn't need to name Legora and Harvey in the second paragraph of the launch post.

      They are pre-empting the obvious interpretation of Astra for Law: that moving this far up the legal stack puts them in direct competition with their biggest legal AI customers.

      “Don't worry, they can build on us” is a pretty conspicuous message to include on launch day.

      They have clearly thought about some pessimistic outcomes.

        Switching from ChatGPT Enterprise to Legora at my firm was a godsend, it's so much better for legal work, even with the frequent changes to the underlying models.
