The next chapter of AI at work is here. Last week in New York, we brought together leaders from some of the world's most influential companies to talk about what it really means to bring intelligence to work. We also shared several important milestones that reflect the pace of this transformation. More than 2 million businesses now use OpenAI, twice as many as a year ago. We introduced new capabilities to make agents more proactive, intuitive, and useful in the flow of work. And we announced that the power of Codex will be coming directly into ChatGPT in the coming weeks, bringing agentic capabilities to more than 900 million people. What stood out most to me last week wasn’t any single announcement. It was how different the conversations with these business leaders felt compared to when I joined OpenAI six months ago. The conversation has shifted from what AI can do to how organizations can deploy it at scale. What we’ve learned from working closely with customers across industries is that isolated pilots and proofs of concept rarely create lasting change. Truly transforming with AI requires a change in mindset. The most forward-leaning companies aren’t treating AI as a technology platform: they’re treating it as an entirely new operating model. Not an incremental change, but an exponential one. One of my favorite conversations was with Robin Vince of BNY, who joined me on stage to share how AI is empowering employees across a historic, 241-year-old financial institution. He described AI as a “capacity creator.” I loved that framing. It’s a reminder that the most innovative companies are using AI to expand what people can accomplish and increase the impact they can have. It was great to be on the road with Sam, too. I interviewed him as part of our programming about what he’s hearing most from his own conversations with customers. The themes he highlighted echoed what we’re hearing across industries: organizations want AI systems that feel connected, tools that feel even simpler and more proactive, and of course, cost efficiency and ROI. We have the most efficient frontier model on the market with GPT 5.5, and I’m incredibly proud of how quickly teams across the company continue to iterate and ship based on feedback from the field. Thank you to everyone who joined us in person and on the livestream, to Sam, Alexander Embiricos, and Romain Huet for making the trip and presenting our incredible innovation, to the amazing OpenAI team who put this event together, and Philippe Laffont and the wonderful team at Coatue Management for hosting us in your beautiful space.
