OpenAI will introduce a new enterprise artificial intelligence platform known as Frontier, the company said today, as it seeks to expand its business customer base and compete with rival Anthropic.
Frontier will allow companies to create and manage AI agents to autonomously perform tasks, according to OpenAI. Enterprise customers represent around 40% of its business, its executives told CNBC last month, with the company planning to reach 50% by the end of the year.
“Today, we’re introducing Frontier, a new platform that helps enterprises build, deploy, and manage AI agents that can do real work,” wrote OpenAI.
“Frontier gives agents the same skills people need to succeed at work: shared context, onboarding, hands-on learning with feedback, and clear permissions and boundaries. That’s how teams move beyond isolated use cases to AI coworkers that work across the business.”
The platform will be available to a small number of customers today before rolling out widely across the coming months.
OpenAI also revealed a new coding AI model known as GPT-5.3-Codex today. According to the company, it features enhanced coding and reasoning abilities at faster speeds, and early versions of the model were used to debug its own training.
Anthropic introduced new plugins for its Claude Cowork AI agent last week that would allow it to perform tasks in fields like finance, law, and data analysis. Anthropic also announced an upgraded version of its Claude Opus model today, which it said would include enhanced coding skills.
OpenAI has been holding informal talks with banks about a potential initial public offering later this year, the Wall Street Journal reported last week. Anthropic is planning an initial public offering in 2026, and OpenAI’s executives have reportedly expressed concerns about Anthropic listing first.
