## Definition

**GPT-3** — in the captured material, an early AI model whose release marked a strategic inflection point: a company built in the pre-AI era had to decide whether to pivot toward AI tools before it was clear AI would be _the thing_.

**GPT-3** shows up in this channel's material as the early AI moment that put product strategy to the test. In the conversation with Linear's co-founder and CEO, the host recalls that when GPT-3 first came out, **nothing about it appeared from Linear** — no visible pivot, no announcements. That silence raised the emotional question at the heart of the interview: what was it like to build a product for a particular way of working, then watch the world change without being sure AI would be _the thing_, and eventually conclude it was necessary to **rebuild how the product works in a significant way**?[^c21e925e-a374-5583-a551-628601b7d1b9@140][^c21e925e-a374-5583-a551-628601b7d1b9@163] The aftermath is the payoff: when **OpenAI's Symphony** launched, the main thing it hooked into was **Linear**, and Linear rebuilt itself into an **agent-native** platform that works natively with AI agents rather than only with humans clicking through an interface. So in this context, the GPT-3 moment marks the dividing line between Linear's deliberate pre-AI patience and its later AI-era advantage.[^c21e925e-a374-5583-a551-628601b7d1b9@126][^c21e925e-a374-5583-a551-628601b7d1b9@140]
