The overhaul is part of a wider restructuring to target more lucrative enterprise customers and intensify competition with AI rival Anthropic.

The redesigned interface will feature new prompts and tools guiding users toward coding, image generation, and services from partners like Canva and Booking.com. [1, 2, 3]
Currently, most Codex users pay for the service, and around 2 million businesses using OpenAI's products contribute about 40% of the company’s revenue. [1, 2, 3] OpenAI expects the enterprise share to rise to 50% by the end of 2026. [1, 2, 3]
ChatGPT has more than 900 million weekly active users and over 50 million consumer subscribers as of early 2026. [1, 2, 3]
In May, Reuters reported OpenAI was preparing a confidential IPO filing in the US. CEO Sam Altman emphasized the timing is not a priority. "The company is not focused on timing and will go public when it makes sense," he said. [1, 2]
