📈Atlassian Commits Spend to OpenAI, Stays Multi-Model

Key Points
The deal is a spend commitment by Atlassian, not an OpenAI investment in Atlassian
Rebuilt MCP server: 15M+ calls per day across 220+ tools in Atlassian products
Internal tests show up to 25% fewer tokens on comparable Jira and Confluence work
Rovo routes through an AI gateway spanning OpenAI and Anthropic models
Report cites GPT-6 Astra at $10 per million input and $50 per million output tokens
Why It Matters
Enterprise software vendors are buying volume from labs while refusing lock-in. Expect the gateway layer to become the real control point.
