Which could well be an indication they did not know this was going to happen...

This statement is the absolute bare minimum they could have written. Terse, no marketing, straight to the point. Its nice for a change.

But given the usual verbiage / pomp-and-circumstance (etc. etc.) on typical announcements, getting something so short and simple like this just feels weird.

Definitely short, but I feel it is still ~80% marketing.

You could cut out:

> As you saw at Microsoft Ignite this week, we’re continuing to rapidly innovate for this era of AI, with over 100 announcements across the full tech stack from AI systems, models, and tools in Azure, to Copilot. Most importantly, we’re committed to delivering all of this to our customers while building for the future. [...] to deliver on our innovation agenda and an exciting product roadmap [...] Together, we will continue to deliver the meaningful benefits of this technology to the world.

And still keep the relevant info with just:

> We have a long-term agreement with OpenAI with full access to everything we need [...] and remain committed to our partnership, and to Mira and the team.

I think the statement is for investors to assure them that they have solid legal contracts with OpenAI that will carry on regardless of what happens in OpenAI's leadership.
