OpenAI Plans Major ChatGPT Overhaul

OpenAI is planning its biggest-ever redesign of ChatGPT, aiming to transform it into a "superapp" incorporating coding tools and artificial intelligence (AI) agents, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. The move is intended to boost revenue ahead of a potential stock market listing.

According to more than a dozen current and former employees cited by the paper, the changes are part of a broader reorganization aimed at shifting resources toward lucrative enterprise clients, a move that would intensify competition with rival Anthropic.

Central to the overhaul is Codex, OpenAI's coding product, which is set to receive greater prominence and resources. The changes are expected to roll out in the coming weeks, initially appearing as updates to ChatGPT's website and mobile apps.

OpenAI said earlier this year that ChatGPT had more than 900 million weekly active users and more than 50 million consumer subscribers.
