Enterprise Focus Drives Next Phase

OpenAI is increasing its focus on enterprise clients as it prepares for a potential IPO later this year. During a recent internal meeting, Applications CEO Fidji Simo said the company is working to turn its generative AI tools into productivity-focused solutions for business use. ChatGPT has reached more than 900 million weekly active users since its launch in 2022. The company now aims to expand enterprise adoption and drive higher-value usage across its platform.

Market Dynamics And Strategic Investments

Competition in the sector is intensifying, with Google and Anthropic advancing their own AI products and exploring public market strategies. OpenAI is positioning ChatGPT as a core productivity tool for enterprise clients, alongside its existing consumer offering.

Preparation For The Public Market

Preparations for a potential IPO are underway, with a timeline that could extend to the fourth quarter of the year. Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar is leading changes within the finance function. Recent hires include Ajmere Dale, formerly at Block Inc., and Cynthia Gaylor, former CFO of DocuSign. Both are expected to strengthen investor relations and financial oversight.

Focused Execution Amid Competitive Pressure

In December, OpenAI introduced an internal “code red” initiative to prioritise the development of ChatGPT features. Simo said execution remains the main priority despite increased competition.

Looking Toward The Future

OpenAI has revised its long-term compute spending target to approximately $600 billion by 2030, adjusting earlier projections. Revenue is expected to exceed $280 billion over the same period, with contributions from both consumer and enterprise segments. The updated projections reflect a shift in capital allocation as the company prepares for a potential IPO and expands its enterprise offering.

New “Think” Button For More Complex Questions

Alongside unlimited text chats, Free and Go users will gain access to a new “Think” button, allowing them to use additional reasoning power for more complex queries.

OpenAI noted that separate usage limits will continue to apply to file uploads, image generation, voice features and other multimodal tools.

Faster Responses For Paid Subscribers

The update also brings improvements for ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers. They will receive access to GPT-5.6 Sol, an upgraded model designed for everyday tasks such as web research, planning, writing, decision-making and answering questions. According to OpenAI, the model delivers shorter, more robust responses.

The company noted that this version is separate from the GPT-5.6 Sol model used in Codex and Work, which remains unchanged. Plus and Pro subscribers will also receive a new thinking slider, allowing them to adjust how much reasoning the model applies before generating an answer, depending on the complexity of the task.

OpenAI Reports Fewer Errors

According to OpenAI’s internal testing, GPT-5.6 Luna produces 62% fewer factual errors than GPT-5.5 Instant, while GPT-5.6 Sol reduces factual errors by 68%.

The updated GPT-5.6 Sol model is available to Plus and Pro users starting today. The remaining features for Free and Go users will roll out throughout the week, with unlimited text chats and the new Think button becoming available next week.
