alt Hacker NewsI believe OpenAI used Persona during the verification step that you must complete to use their SOTA models in the API. Not sure if it's still the case now.
Anyway, I found that too much of a hassle and switched to other LLM providers.

Similar experience here.
A few months back I was evaluating one of the GPT-5 models for a side project. Turns out streaming via the API requires org verification, and I decided to look elsewhere.
In hindsight, a good decision given what just came out about Persona.
I just registered at platform.OpenAI.com two days ago for MCP Apps registration and had to do the Persona process! Now I could cry.
