ChatGPT maker OpenAI shifts its focus to business users amid Anthropic pressure
OpenAI said business customers now make up 40% of revenue and could reach half of sales by year-end as it adds a new professional model.
- Facing heightened competition from Anthropic, OpenAI is introducing a new model for "high-value professional work" as it pivots toward business-oriented products to attract corporate customers.
- Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar said business customers accounted for about 20% of OpenAI's revenue when she was hired in 2024, but now represent 40% as the company pursues profitability.
- Codenamed Spud, OpenAI says its "smartest model yet" offers stronger reasoning and reliable output. Meanwhile, the company boasts more than 900 million weekly ChatGPT users, though about 95% do not pay.
- This move directly counters Anthropic's new Claude Mythos, which the rival claims is so "strikingly capable" that it limits access to select customers due to cybersecurity risks.
- Signaling that shift was the hiring three months ago of Slack CEO Denise Dresser as OpenAI's first chief revenue officer, as both firms race toward Wall Street while losing money.
