What Did OpenAI Do This Week?

OPENAI BREAKS ONE MILLION PAYING CORPORATE CUSTOMERS (ISH)

A week after ChatGPT Enterprise’s first birthday, OpenAI announced that the company now has more than one million paid accounts for corporate versions of ChatGPT. Broken down, the figure includes Team and Enterprise services, which are aimed at companies, as well as people at universities using its ChatGPT Edu product (launched in May).

ChatGPT Enterprise was launched with extra features and privacy safeguards in a bid to boost revenue and offset the high cost of building AI products. OpenAI then went on to introduce ChatGPT Team for smaller companies in January. This week’s one million user mark shows an increase in adoption rates from April this year when users were at 600,000.

Brad Lightcap, OpenAI’s COO said “From reshaping how students learn, to optimizing patient care and transforming how governments serve their citizens, AI is redefining how people work,” “We’re proud to help over a million paying business users work more productively, streamline operations and uncover new opportunities for innovation.”

Just under half of OpenAI’s corporate users are based in the US, the company said.
“More than half of Enterprise, Team and Edu seats are outside the U.S., with Germany, Japan and the United Kingdom as the top three non-U.S. countries,” the company said. “We’re seeing traction with the world’s most important companies and organizations, including Arizona State University, Moderna, Rakuten and Morgan Stanley.” In a survey of 4,700 users of its business products, OpenAI found that users are seeing increases in productivity (92%), time savings (88%) and improvements in creativity and innovation (75%) The top use cases for Enterprise products were gathering research, drafting and editing content, and ideation.
