This surge comes shortly after CEO Sam Altman issued a &#8216;code red&#8217; warning about the competitive threat posed by Google\u2019s Gemini. Despite this competition, OpenAI reports that 36% of U.S. businesses are using ChatGPT Enterprise, compared to 14.3% for rival Anthropic. The new data highlights that large enterprises are increasingly integrating AI tools into their workflows, with organizations using OpenAI\u2019s API consuming substantially more &#8216;reasoning tokens&#8217; than before. This increased usage suggests a trend towards using AI for more complex problem-solving tasks. Additionally, the use of custom GPTs has risen significantly, accounting for 20% of enterprise messages. OpenAI emphasizes the economic benefits of enterprise adoption of AI, though sustainability concerns due to increased energy usage have been raised. The company continues to innovate with tools like the agentic security researcher Aardvark to address potential security vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI has announced a significant increase in enterprise usage of its AI tools, with ChatGPT message volume growing eightfold since November 2024.
