Developer Action Items
- β Map where Anthropic / Claude / Codex sits in your stack (SDK, API key, billing, data-processing addendum).
- β Hold the $6 billion figure to the primary report; do not brief a number that is not on the record.
- β Hold non-urgent migrations until the integration or use-of-proceeds roadmap is public β day-one coverage is not a ship signal.
- β If you are mid-contract or mid-POC, ask the vendor what changes for existing customers this quarter.
- β Write the single decision this forces: stay, dual-source, or exit.
