The full answer
The OpenAI Partner Network recognises companies that build and deliver solutions on OpenAI's technology. Being named a Select Partner is a signal of the work Creuto has done with OpenAI models, including ChatGPT-based solutions and generative AI applications for clients.
For projects that use OpenAI models, clients benefit from a team that already works with OpenAI's APIs and tooling, and that understands how to design, evaluate and run these applications in production.
The partnership does not lock you into one provider. Creuto continues to work with Claude, Gemini and Llama as well, and compares models on your real tasks before recommending one. Applications are designed so the model can be changed later.
The announcement and further background are available on Creuto's news page. If you want to discuss whether OpenAI models suit your project, a discovery call is the best place to start.
In practice, the engagement process is unchanged. Every AI project still starts with discovery, a written comparison of model options where relevant, and a fixed-scope proposal. The partnership adds experience and context to that process rather than replacing the evaluation that decides which model is right for your product.
