Don't these M&As need to be cleared by regulators? Seems premature to tell your customers you're discontinuing your product before the acquisition has actually cleared (and, for that matter, passed OpenAI's due diligence).

There are like 10k+ mergers and acquisitions done in the US each year (ballpark). It requires real analysis to figure if something should be blocked (practically none have any real effect on anything and shouldn't be) and there are only so many folks at the regulators who can do that analysis (and honestly... they aren't good at it...).
I’ve been around for a few M&A that horrendously fucked customers of the “acquired” company and the regulator doesn’t care. Even if the acquirer is under regulatory observation.
