Does anyone read this as a potential internal power struggle? I imagine there are a lot of OpenAI folks deeply concerned about AI safety and doomsday scenarios, but there is an increasing commercial need for OpenAI to keep pushing forward on developing more advanced models faster, if only because Microsoft demands it and they need Microsoft, so this is a way to appease folks internally (and maybe externally) and stop a bunch of talent flowing out to another Anthropic.

I read none of the implications you meant in the slightest. In a hotting area, this is a natural thing for a company to do, which is accelerate.
