OpenAI has announced that already 600,000 individuals are paying for ChatGPT's business products, presenting the company with new opportunities to secure larger corporate deals and manage the growing competition. With both ChatGPT Enterprise and ChatGPT Team products, OpenAI aims to gain a foothold in businesses and offer them enhanced AI services. While ChatGPT Enterprise is intended for larger companies, ChatGPT Team is designed for smaller firms.

OpenAI, at the Heart of the Current Generative AI Boom, Faces a Multitude of Well-Funded Competitors, Including Microsoft, the Company's Main Financial Supporter and Partner. Compared to Previous Technological Developments, Generative AI is Ideally Suited for Transforming the Business World, Leading to Increased Corporate Interest in These Technologies.

OpenAI has now assembled a team of about 200 developers, researchers, as well as sales and support staff to sell its AI technology directly to businesses. OpenAI relies on a direct sales approach to engage with CIOs, CTOs, and CEOs.

Businesses such as the home improvement store Lowe's and the insurer Oscar Health are already using customized versions of OpenAI's GPT-4 model to enhance their services. ChatGPT Enterprise and ChatGPT Team are two pricing models that depend on the number of users, with ChatGPT Team costing 30 US dollars per month per user.

OpenAI not only supports companies in developing their own apps and products based on ChatGPT Enterprise but also works on the development of custom models with clients, with costs varying greatly depending on the model and service.

Despite Advancements in Corporate Credibility, Some CIOs Hesitate to Fully Rely on OpenAI's Services, as Startups are Considered Riskier Compared to Established Providers. Following Internal Turmoil at OpenAI Last November, Some Companies Have Decided to Diversify Their AI Investments Across Multiple Vendors and Use a Mix of Proprietary and Open-Source Models.

However, OpenAI considers itself in a strong position and emphasizes the benefits of a centralized partnership compared to managing multiple providers. Companies continue to have the choice to work directly with OpenAI or to access OpenAI's most powerful models through Microsoft's Azure cloud service, with cloud providers offering additional security and data protection guarantees.

The Development of OpenAI and the Implementation of ChatGPT in the Business World Highlight the Growing Potential of Generative AI to Revolutionize Business Processes and Initiate a New Era of Technology Adoption in Companies.
