OpenAI Finally Sells Merch, Still Leaves Everyone Sized Out Except Small People
KEY POINTS
- •OpenAI launched the 'OpenAI Supply Co.' merch store in December 2025, celebrating its 10-year anniversary on X.
- •The store offered 10 items including Pokémon-style AI collectible cards and AGI-themed apparel, with most sizes selling out fast.
- •Among hats, a camo print version resembled a viral Anthropic cap, released a year earlier, sparking silent fashion battles.
In a grand 10-year nostalgia fest, OpenAI unveiled 'OpenAI Supply Co.'—their merch store that’s apparently for coders and superfans who don’t mind a literal scavenger hunt for size L. Celebrated on their X feed with 3,000-plus likes within 15 hours, the store offered 10 mostly archived items, including Pokémon-style trading cards featuring Sora 2 and GPT-5 (yes, a card for an AI because why shouldn’t digital brains be collectible?). Available swag boasted slogans like 'AGI that benefits all of humanity,' plus a camo-print baseball cap eerily similar to a viral Anthropic design—but the twist? OpenAI drops theirs a year earlier, flexing official originality or accidental proto-trend. A hat with '1-800-CHATGPT' still works, proving even AI phone hotlines can survive better than your social life. Sadly, if you measure bigger than small or extra small, you’re out of luck unless you want to rock a flame-print cap from the early 2000s. Even the ‘Thinking deeply’ cap, released September 2024 and celebrating a reasoning model, screams Silicon Valley brainpower or desperate wish to look intellectual while chatting with your toaster. Developer Tibor Blaho petitioned for public merch access 10 months ago; OpenAI’s finally responding with an eye emoji—a real mic drop of corporate patience.
