Frontier model developer behind ChatGPT, with a growing focus on agents, enterprise deployment and consumer scale.
OpenAI develops frontier language, reasoning and multimodal models and distributes them through ChatGPT and an API platform. Its shift toward agentic products and compute partnerships makes it a bellwether for the sector.
Frontier model releases, agent products for consumers and enterprises, and large-scale compute and data centre partnerships.
Consumer scale leader and one of a small number of frontier labs. Watch: enterprise agent adoption, compute cost structure and competition from open-weight models.
Software that plans, acts and completes work with supervision.
An AI agent is a system that uses a model to plan and execute multi-step tasks by calling tools, reading and writing data, and taking actions in software environments, typically with a human setting goals and reviewing outcomes.
