OpenAI is preparing the biggest ChatGPT update since its launch — FT
The American company OpenAI is preparing the most significant update to its popular ChatGPT chatbot since its official launch.
The main goal of this upgrade is to actively seek new sources of financial growth ahead of the company’s planned IPO later this year.
The management of the San Francisco-based tech giant intends to transform the well-known bot into a multifunctional “super app.”
The updated platform will combine advanced tools for writing code and autonomous AI agents.
Developers will add new commercial products, which, according to management, will bring the company significantly more stable revenue.
These sweeping changes are part of a broader reorganization within OpenAI.
Currently, the developer is redirecting its best resources toward efforts to attract profitable corporate clients and wage a more intense battle against its main market competitor—Anthropic.
The company is facing growing pressure to increase revenue and chart a clear path to profitability as it prepares for an initial public offering (IPO).
The new business strategy marks a significant departure from the previous commercial course of the company led by CEO Sam Altman.
It was this very team that previously became the face of the global artificial intelligence boom and brought the technology into the mainstream when it unveiled the base version of ChatGPT in late 2022.
Now, the company plans to devote significantly more attention and internal resources to the OpenAI Codex product.
This move reflects a growing conviction within the team that the future of technology lies not in simple chatbots that merely answer questions.
The industry needs full-fledged digital agents capable of independently performing complex practical tasks for users. “Chat is dead,” said one of OpenAI’s senior employees, describing the shift in priorities.
The Financial Times, a leading international publication, reports on this radical shift in the AI developer’s strategy.
